How do bats use their wings to navigate?

Bats use their wings for both flight and navigation. Their wings are highly flexible, allowing them to maneuver in tight spaces and change direction quickly. This flexibility is crucial for echolocation, which bats use to navigate and hunt for insects in the dark. The wings’ shape and movement allow bats to produce sound waves that bounce off objects, providing them with information about their surroundings. Bats can adjust their wing position and shape to change their flight path, making them incredibly agile fliers.
