How Do Bats Navigate When It's Dark?

Not mistaking, but each and every one of us must have seen or heard of these tiny vampire creatures called bats. They usually lurk about in dark caves and sometimes within our environment whenever it's dusk. This is more common in the arid regions of the world. In a few cases of bat sightings, people see these creatures hanging upside down in caves. Bats are mammals. They belong to the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, and order Chiroptera.

Bats are the only mammals that can truly make flight a reality. But why do these creatures fly so fast in the dark without bumping into a single object? The answer's pretty simple. Just stick with me for a while. Bats can detect nearby objects without seeing it. This is made possible by the squeaks they make. But how do these squeaks work? Bats usually help themselves navigate by squeaking and listening to the echoes that bounces off an object. The squeaks of a bot is measured in cycles per second, and a single squeak is roughly measured to about 50,000 cycles per second. Humans hear sounds of about 15,000 cycles per second, compare to cycles to a bat's squeak can cover for every second.

By listening to the echoes of their own squeaks which usually bounces off an object and then back to them, bat's tend to find their way around their surroundings. And this in no way hinders how fast they go, they simply keep going fast. Stay tuned for more... I.G : Cool_Mundial
