Rickett's big-footed bats use sonar to hunt. Starting with 20 calls per second, they can hit 150 right before striking their target. It's like a missile's shriek! #Bats #Sonar #Wildlife #Nature #Echolocation From: Animal Special Forces Series 01 Episode 01 | Real Wild

Echolocation allows bats to not only hear sounds, but also to generate them. Male bats sing in ultrasound to attract females, and research shows females prefer more elaborate mating calls. #Echolocation #Bats #Ultrasound #AnimalBehavior #Wildlife | Real Wild

Bats use echolocation to navigate at night, decoding sound signals that bounce off trees and insects. This helps them build a sound picture of their surroundings and find their favorite foods like crickets and cicadas. #Bats #Echolocation #Nocturnal #Wildlife #Nature #Animals | Real Wild
