Bats make use of a unique skill set namely echolocation. By producing these sounds that are three times higher than what humans can hear, they paint a sort of three-dimensional picture of their surroundings and can then navigate the world using it. Bats are also excellent hunters because they are blind, and their hearing is exceptional.

During their “echolocation”, meaning the sounds they make using their vocal cords, they produce sounds that can be described as clicks. These clicks are not limited by their vocal cords only. Interestingly, bats can also make sounds through their nostrils or even their bats. This gives bats several advantages in nature. These sounds can be perceived by distinguishing texture, density, and material. These are things we cannot perceive with our eyes when distance is key since the bat is always in motion.
Bats partake in several activities that have to do with their echolocation. Because this is their primary way to see their world, they are exceptionally dependent on it. They use their echolocation for several activities such as reconnaissance, hunting, and navigating. The bat produces a sound that bounces back and because of this, they can do every type of activity with ease.
Bats stay in caves, caverns, and in forested areas. In recent years, their numbers have been dwindling due to a disease impacting the bat population at unforeseen numbers. This disease is called White-nose Syndrome. White-nose Syndrome is a fungal disease that is recognized by white markings on their nose. Apart from this devasting disease, humans are another factor that prompts mass migration. Due to deforestation, bats are forced to leave their homes in search of alternatives and will end up in residential places. Bats, because of this, bats are seen in attics because it has similar environments to what bats are used to. Attics are dry, damp, and isolated because they are hardly visited. This gives bats the perfect opportunity to roost in colonies.
