Bats Flying Low. Nocturnal bats can reach air speeds of 135 kilometres per hour and altitudes of 1,600 metres above sea level — with assistance from pockets of rising night air. Despite poor visibility, darkness and ambient noise, bats capture their prey with. Flying low, the animals catch insects at speeds of around 40 metres per second. It is unusual to see bats in the middle of the day, as they are more at risk of predation during daylight hours. However, if a bat is hungry (for example, a female bat with a baby to feed), thirsty. At night the bat uses its hearing to. Bats fly at night to avoid being eaten by birds of prey. The ecological success of bats, their almost worldwide distribution, and their phylogenetic diversity is in large part thanks to. Flight enabled bats easier access to food sources—insects, fruits, nectar from flowers, etc.—and to exploit new habitats.
