Cave bats are a group of bats that primarily roost in caves. They are known for their ability to navigate in the dark using echolocation, which allows them to locate food and avoid obstacles. These bats often feed on insects, making them important for controlling pest populations. Many species of cave bats are social and live in large colonies. They typically hibernate in caves during colder months, conserving energy when food is scarce. Unfortunately, some cave bat populations are threatened by habitat loss and diseases like white-nose syndrome, which can devastate entire colonies.
