Did you know that bats are the only mammal capable of sustained flight? This 19th century woodcut from Gilbert White’s The Natural History of Selbourne shows the long-eared bat and the common pipistrelle in motion. Another fun fact is that bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt. They send sound waves from their mouth or nose. Then, the sound waves hit an object and create an echo. The bats listen for the echo to determine the location of an object. -- source link
