Are bats blind?
No! They just have eyes and they can just see.
But at night, when they go hunting, they cannot see very much with those eyes. They use their ears to watch. They do that by echolocation. The bat makes a high squeaky sound, reflecting against the objects in the area. And with his super-sensitive ears, he listens to the reflective echo. On the echo, he can hear if there are trees or walls, and feel movements. Because of that echolocation, he can even track a flying moth... but also catch it! (and gobble up, but he does that with his mouth full of sharp teeth)

With Halloween and in different countries, bats are symbol of evil, darkness, death and are often seen with witches and vampires.. That's kind of a pity for the bug. The bats are very useful for our ecosystem! They pollinate flowers, spread seeds and prevent us from suffering from huge insect pests! Just so you know!
