However, read on for a few of the myths surrounding the nocturnal creatures.
Bats are Blind
While bats do have bad eyesight, they are not blind according to lab tests that have been done on the creatures. Most people think that bats are blind because they only hunt at night and use a special ability known as sonar to help them hunt their prey. They are not blind however.
Bats Eat Humans
Horror movies have had a field day with movies that turn bats into bloodthirsty creatures who terrorize entire small towns, feasting on the blood of every human they come across. In reality, bats do not search for humans to feast on at night. In reality, they would prefer to avoid humans altogether. Humans are bigger than bats and the bat is just as scared of you as you are of him.
Bats have no Uses
