Echolocation complements their vision rather than replacing it. Bats emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects, enabling them to "see" their surroundings through sound. This is especially useful in complete darkness.
Bats’ vision adapts to their needs. For example, fruit bats have better color vision than insect-eating bats. The myth likely stems from their nocturnal habits and reliance on echolocation, but bats are equipped with multiple sensory tools to thrive.
