Radar Operator to the Max

Bats are really fascinating creatures! When they fly around at night, they emit high-pitched sounds and listen to the echoes of the sounds like radar on a plane! This sweet technology lets bats locate insect flying in the air at night and also avoid obstacles. In this way, a bat can eat 300 bugs an hour including mosquitoes, moths and other pesky insects. God did an amazing job designing the bat, the only flying mammal, to allow it to fly without running into things, eat lots of annoying bugs, and make life more comfortable for us.
