There were many studies done on not only bats, but also sheep, chickens, wolves, dogs, elephants and many other animals. Many animals are able to recognize each other through sound, by the calls, grunts, rumbles, squeals and chirps that are used to communicate to each other. Many animals, however, don't rely on sound to recognize each other (bats have to because they don't see very well), but go more for facial recognition like humans do. Scent is very important for wolves, dogs, sheep, goats and cattle because it tells everything about the other animal.

Some animals identify their offspring visually.Others depend on the voice.Some animals lick their babies at birth,marking them with a chemical tag,that they can identify.

Actually, in pretty much the same way us humans do - by a combination of appearance, calls behavior and smell. The exact contribution of each sense varies from species to species.
