Honduran fruit-eating bat Neotropical bats, which typically range from 10-85 g. It displays the characteristic lack of tail and narrow patagium seen in fruit bats, and also has a very densely furred uropatagium, which distinguishes A. hirsutus and A. inopinatus from many other species in the genus. Like most bats, they are nocturnal, roosting during the day, and use echolocation for navigation at night. The bats are in the family Phyllostomidae, also referred to as the New World leaf-nosed bats. This group tends to have distinct pointed, or "leaf shaped" snouts which assist them in echolocation. The Honduran Fruit Eating bat has a
Animal echolocation rats can use echolocation to navigate mazes. Echolocation systems are susceptible to interference known as echolocation jamming or sonar jamming. Jamming occurs when non-target sounds interfere with target echoes. Jamming can be purposeful or inadvertent and can be caused by the echolocation system itself, other echolocating animals, prey, or humans. Echolocating animals have evolved to minimize jamming; however, echolocation avoidance behaviors are not always successful. "Galleria mellonella" exhibits predator avoidance behaviors such as dropping, looping, and freezing when emitters sent out ultrasound waves, indicating that "G. mellonella" can both detect and differentiate between ultrasound frequencies used by predators or from
