For what do bats need eyes if they are blind?

To wear contacts&sunglasses.

That's actually a fruit bat and not a regular bat.

Flying doggo

Bats actually have visual acuity around the same level as humans

>>2395746
This. Bats arent actually blind.

They just rely on sound to travel and hunt because caves be dark as fuck yo.

Do fruit bats though? Seems to me that sonar would be far less effective than color vision at finding fruit

>>2395821
I dont know if fruit bats have color vision but even with it I think sonar would better.

Sonar would help find exactly where and how much fruit is in a tree.

Flying foxes are an entire different family of bats than the tiny ones, called megabats. They don't have sonar because as zfrank put it, fruit does not give up much chase

>>2395880
Did fruitbats have sonar and lose it or did the little bats split off of them and develop sonar?

>>2395888
Yes, the development of sonar came after the split between microbats and megabats, which is why megabats have normal, cute small mammal faces and microbats have smooshed up flat monster faces ideal for not interfering with their sonar

Go to bed, Jaden.

>>2395731
Bats have excellent vision

bats trust their eyes over their sonar. They run into glass in the light, but avoid it in the dark.
