The echolocation sounds of greater horseshoe bats are very special (note that this is what you hear through a bat detector).

Have you ever seen a fruit bat using echolocation? 🤔 Our Shir sent us a rare (and extremely adorable) documentation of sweet Kevin she is fostering, using echolocation to form an image of his surroundings before taking off in flight. Volume up to hear the clicks! Most species of fruit bats don't use echolocation and only rely on sight (despite what people think, they have excellent eyesight), because unlike insectivore bats, fruit bats' food stays put and they don't need echolocation to hunt it
