Did you know that some bats that use echolocation use their noses to help them hear? Kind of like the squishy outer part of your ear, their nose leaf helps to collect sound that tells them distance, texture, and speed of an object. All bats in Iowa use echolocation and are insectivores meaning they only eat bugs! A brown bat can eat 1,000 mosquitoes in an hour!
