The bats can fly in the dark because
-
- they can see the objects in darkness
- they have weak legs and are likely to be attacked by predators
- they generate flashes of light
- they generate ultrasonic sound waves
- they can see the objects in darkness
Correct Option: D
Bats use echolocation to navigate and forage, often in total darkness. They generally emerge from their roosts in caves, attics, or trees at dusk and hunt for insects into the night. Their use of echolocation allows them to occupy a niche where there are often many insects (that come out at night since there are fewer predators then) and where there is less competition for food, and where there are fewer other species that may prey on the bats themselves. Microbats generate ultrasound via the larynx and emit the sound through the open mouth or, much more rarely, the nose.
