Yes, bats hear very well in order to make up for their poor eyesight. The lowest can be 1 kHz for some species and for other species the highest reaches up to 200 kHz. Bats navigate through echolocation.

Ah yes, that is correct, and many have extraordinarily high vocal and aural band-widths of many tens of kHz, but what is their amplitude sensitivity? Their echo-location is limited to at most a couple of tens of metres, and to compensate for low power their maximum call intensity is very high (>100dB re 20µPa for some species) in order to receive useable echoes, but is their hearing especially acute?
The Common Vampire bat only weighs between 15 and 50 grams
This idea that bats are unable to see stems from a very well known phase: "as blind as a bat". It is however, untrue. Although a bat cannot see in colour, it can see better than a human at night. They also use their echolocation to gain a better picture of what is around them, which is in many case more accurate and sensitive than an eye, enabling the bat to see very clearly in even the darkest of nights.

Why do some animals feed at night?
Some animals prefer the dark because of adaptation, depending on the environment they live in and what they eat. Carnivores like owls, are more active during the night because most of their prey are active from the time the sun is up or down until it's really dark.
The only mammal that can (truly) fly is a bat. The rest can glide or parachute jump.
What should you do if you find an injured bat on your back porch?
I've had a similar situation with an injured skunk. First and foremost, remove pets, and children or anything else that is in danger of being bitten. Next call your local animal control department and explain the situation. If you can close off the porch so it won't get away do that. If he is rabid you don't want him wandering out into the world again. Then wait for the animal control officer. Bats have a very high incident of being rabid and animal control will most likely destroy the bat and test it for rabies. Warning: Do not try to attend to the bat yourself. It does not have to be foaming at the mouth or acting deranged to be infected, my skunk had no signs of illness at all.
Do mammals and monkeys fly in the air?
The only flying monkeys on record are the ones in the Wizard of Oz who were minions of the Wicked Witch. These were entirely fictional creatures.
However, monkeys appear to fly because they can leap from tree to tree. While it appears they are flying, they aren't, they are simply using momentum to push themselves from one tree branch to another.
mosquitos are smaller so when they breathe rapidly the sound is higher pitched. Humming birds are larger so the sound of them beating their wings are louder. hope i helped.
What happens if a mosquito drinks too much blood?
Ticks can grow to hold a significant amount of blood, even as much as 200 to 600 times their body weight when they have not fed. One tick may not be that dangerous but where there is one tick there are usually more.
Well a bat uses it's larynx (vocal chords) to emit a sound waves that they listen for , and when those sound waves bounce of of objects or animals that are closer they come back faster then things farther away, which can effectively form a detailed map of where the bat is at. Think of it like a ship's radar system.
Yes mammals do live in Florida such as the manatee.
