Are bats blind ? |
According to science bats has better vision than human. And that better vision is more than 3 times.But whats made people think about the lack of vision is the echolocation. Bats can use the ultra sonic sound from the wing swing and take it's help to navigate.
General overview of bats vision |
Echo location vs Vision |
Left—echolocation is slightly advantageous when searching for small prey. Right—Vision is strongly advantageous when avoiding large obstacles. Scale bars depict the approximated detection distances, but are qualitative and not quantitative (especially for the large objects domain).
The color detection of a bat is not good among several species but that does not mean they have a bad eye sight.
