Bat's Vision and Echolocation Empower Them to Be Top Nocturnal Predators
Not only are bats creatures of the night, when they take flight they are dominant hunters in the sky, with more than 1,000 species of the echolocating nocturnal mammals flying around the world, compared to just 80 species of non-echolocating nocturnal birds.
