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.

How do bats use sound to navigate and to hunt?

Bats use sound by sending a sound wave to the object or prey that is going to approch,the sound wave bonces of of the prey and goes back to the bat. The sound wave that goes back to the bat tells the bat how far away the bat is and how fast it is approching the bat.

A bat uses "sonar" because of it's lack of sight. A bat's "sonar" is the closest thing it has to sight, as it can identify individual objects with it.

If it relates to person, not very, as bats do have sight although poor and people have no sonar facility to make up it.
