Some bats capture and eat moths while they are flying. Insect-eating bats hunt using a sophisticated hearing system like a submarine’s sonar to locate their prey. This is called echolocation. The bats emit a high frequency shriek that bounces off objects and they detect the echo that is returned. This system is so sophisticated that bats can determine the size of their prey and its direction.
