उत्तर
Bats are able to fly at night without colliding with other objects because they emit ultrasonic squeaks and listen to the echoes produced by the reflection of their squeaks from the objects or obstacles in their path. Bats can judge the distance of the object in their path and avoid it by changing the direction using the time taken by the echo to be heard after reflection from the obstacle.
