Bats (Movie): Species
built 292 days ago
Bats use other senses like hearing, which is central to echolocation. Sounds are used by bats for communication purposes like attracting mates or calling for their young. Some bats can see very well, and some cannot. Contrary to popular belief ("Blind as a bat"), there are no species of blind bats. Different species of bats have different variances in sight, and only the megachiropteras can see color. Another sense they use is smell.

Because bats are nocturnal and relatively difficult to capture alive, not much is known about their distribution and abundance. Only 13 species have been reported from South Carolina, and just eight of these are known from the Piedmont. These include the Southeastern Myotis (known only from one specimen in a Camden mill), Silver-haired Bat, Eastern Pipistrelle, Red Bat, Seminole Bat, Hoary Bat, Evening Bat, and the Big Brown Bat.

“There has long been speculation among scientists that bats are the natural reservoir for Ebola. In scientific experiments, researchers have injected bats with the Ebola virus, and the bats have survived. “You find bats in almost every outbreak,” said Bob Swanepoel, head of the Special Pathogens Division at South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases.”
