What is the texture of bat fur?
A zoo near me has a "teaching" bat, used to show the public that bats are really not frightening. She has a problem with one wing and one eye is missing, so she needs to be kept away from the rest of her colony. I got to hold her and the fur was very short, plush, and soft. It was very much like a rabbit's, only shorter.
How do you calculate echolocation?
Echolocation is calculated by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to travel from the emitter to an object and back. This involves sending out a sound pulse, then recording the time until the echo returns. The distance to the object can be calculated using the formula: Distance = (Speed of Sound × Time) / 2, where the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. The division by two accounts for the round trip of the sound wave.
What would you miss if you switched from seeing with your eyes to echolocation?

Answer 1: Bat "poo" is called "bat guano."
And it's, among other things, an excellent fertilizer. Cave bat guano, for example, is used to grow peppercorns, from which the black pepper in the pepper shakers on tables in restaurants is made.
There have long been claims that bat guano was once used in mascara, but such claims remain unproven.
Some tribal cultures have long used it in ceremonies, though... to cast out demons, mostly.
And bat guano helps make things blow-up: Up 'til World War I, bat guano from the famous Mammoth Caves, in Kentucky, was used to make saltpetre, which is one of the key ingredients in black gun powder. A derivative of that was used by NASA during both the Mercury and Gemini space programs to deploy antenna into space.
Finally (at least for me, 'cause I can't think of anything else), bat guano is an important source of food for beetles and certain other insects on the floors of the caves beneath where the bats hang upside down and sleep during daylight hours.
