What is bats?

Bats are flying animals that use echolocation to find their way around at night.

Bats have wings made of skin stretched between their fingers, kind of like a stretchy glove you wear on your hand. When they flap their wings, they can fly through the air, just like birds, but with a different body shape.

At night, when it's too dark to see clearly, bats use echolocation. They make sounds, like little clicks or squeaks, and listen for how those sounds bounce back from objects around them. It’s like when you shout in a big empty room and hear your voice come back, that’s how they know where things are!

Some bats even catch insects midair, using their echolocation to find them like a super detective finding clues!
