10. Myth: Bats are blind.

谬误10：蝙蝠是瞎的。

Often associated with darkness, witches and black magic, bats have a lot of mythology and misconceptions surrounding them, making them seem like foreboding creatures of the night. Although people often think bats are blind due to their only hunting at night, the fact is that all species of bats can see, although their vision is poorly developed. To compensate they have excellent senses of smell and hearing, and are able to use echo-location and sonar abilities to navigate and hunt at night. Their sonar abilities are so exceptional that they’re often better than military-grade sonar, which is amazing for such small animals.

蝙蝠常与黑暗，巫师和魔法相伴，周身有很多神话和误解，使其看起来像黑夜的预感生灵。尽管人们常常因为蝙蝠只在夜间猎食而认为它们是瞎的，但事实上，所有种类的蝙蝠都可以看到东西，尽管他们的视力并不发达。然而，失之东隅收之桑榆，它们具有非常敏锐的嗅觉和听觉，能使用回声定位并能用声纳导航，在夜间捕食。它们的声纳能力是如此特殊，常常比军用级声纳更好用，这种小动物的这一功能着实令人称奇。
