How do bats find food at night?

Bats use echolocation to find food in the dark. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects, including prey like insects, and return as echoes. By analysing these echoes, bats determine the location, size, and movement of their prey. Some species, like fruit bats, rely on their excellent night vision and sense of smell to locate ripe fruit. Echolocation and sensory adaptations make bats highly effective nocturnal hunters.
