Bats Nocturnal at Claudia Welch blog

Bats Nocturnal. Nearly all species roost during the day and forage at night. Most bats are nocturnal and feed at night, but some are diurnal and active during the day. Nocturnal activity is a major feature of the behavioral pattern of bats: Carnivorous bats, vampire bats, and perhaps fishing bats (see bulldog bat) may have an advantage at night over inactive or sleeping prey. Bats are mammals with front limbs modified for flight. If owls, and other nocturnal predators, evolved large eyes to see and hunt at night, why didn’t bats do the same? Many bats that exhibit daily torpor also hibernate during the winter. Central to the nocturnal success of bats is their unparalleled navigation prowess, relying on a combination of sonar and visual cues. Learn about bat sleep habits, echolocation, roosting sites, and how artificial light affects them. While they fly under cover of darkness, bats can use their amazing echolocation abilities to seek out prey. Find out how bats use echolocation, what they eat, where they live, and how they are related to other mammals. Learn about the biology, natural history, and diversity of bats, the only mammals that can fly. To celebrate bats’ nighttime activities, bat lovers have held international bat night every august since 1997, and the event is now observed in more than 30 countries.
