Greater Bulldog Bat

These specialized hunters skim water surfaces looking for ripples made by fish. They emit high-frequency pulses between 50-90 kHz that detect subtle water movements. Greater bulldog bats use their unusually large feet to scoop prey from the water. They combine excellent echolocation with sharp vision to hunt successfully. Their sonic abilities detect ripples made by fish fins breaking the water’s surface. This specialized hunting technique allows them to capture prey that other bats cannot reach.
