How do bats find their way into caves more than 100 meters down?

530 views

How do they get there? Why do they get there? Is there any advantage to being that deep into the cave? These are the burning questions I’m asking myself while not doing my schoolwork.

Actually, contrary to popular belief bats are NOT blind. They’re basically color blind, but their eyes are INCREDIBLY well tuned to see in the dark. Echolocation on bats is mostly used for hunting, and literal pitch black environments.

Also there’s roughly 200 species of large bat that don’t even have the ability to use echolocation, due to lack of proper anatomy.

Actually can’t think of a species of bat that IS blind.
