How do bats find their food?

Question

how do bats find their food when they are completely blind?

Answer 1

By sonar and by the heat sensors in the olfactory network.Sonically its a matter of screeching and listening for the return echo of sound waves or the muting of them and by olfactory it is by smell and also as with pit vipers by sensing warmth from mammals and other creatures who have generated or absorbed heat that can be sensed

Answer 2

Sonar: They basically use sound waves to determine the shapes of the surrounding objects according to the echo and  frequency of the sound waves that are emitted.

Answer 4

Sonar, they do this clicking and find the bug, they are blind which is amazing. I picture gliding through the air in a bug zone and opening your mouth.

The clicking acts as a radar, and bounces back from the bug, and sends a signal to the Bat to tell where and how far away the bug is.

Answer 5

Answer 6

sonar

Answer 7

by echolocation.

To help them find their prey in the dark, most bat species have developed a remarkable navigation system called echolocation. To understand how echolocation works, imagine an "echo canyon." If you stand on the edge of a canyon and shout "hello," you'll hear your own voice coming back to you an instant later.

Answer 8

Bats aren't blind. They have excellent vision during the night and day. Bats that eat insects do so by catching flying bugs through echo-location. Bats that feed on fruit do so through sight and smell. Bats that feed on blood use sight, smell, echo-location to locate their food.
