When the rest of the world is going to bed, bats are just waking up. They spend the night swooping through the air, gobbling up insects, plants, and small animals. When the sun comes up, they head home to spend the day hanging around. Bats are happy to sleep upside-down in a variety of places. The movies portray bats as cave dwellers, but you'll find them hanging out upside-down everywhere from attics to bridges to the insides of hollow trees.
Echolocation is the use of sound waves and echoes to determine where objects are in space. Bats use echolocation to navigate and find food in the dark. To echolocate, bats send out sound waves from their mouth or nose. When the sound waves hit an object they produce echoes. The echo bounces off the object and returns to the bats ears. Bats listen to the echoes to figure out where the object is, how big it is, and its shape. Using echolocation, bats can detect objects as thin as a human hair in complete darkness. Echolocation allows bats to find insects the size of mosquitoes, which many bats like to eat.
