Why is a bat's nose so large?

Most bats (or at least many, many bats) generate a very high pitched sound called an 'ultra-high frequency sound'. Say that someone sings a note. Then the note keeps getting higher and higher and higher. After a time, the note would be so high that people couldn't hear it, BUT IT WOULD STILL BE A SOUND. It is just a high sound that you can't hear. \n\nOk, so bats have this little thing in their heads, usually behind their noses, that makes these sounds. Most of the time, the bat's noses are shaped like little speakers, or little trumpets, so that they can send this sound out better. Then, in order to hear the sound that comes back, or echos back, they have big ears. If you'll notice, the little yellow baby bats here have really big noses, and really big ears. This echo that they hear when the sound comes back gives their technique it's name of 'echo-location'. When the sound that they send out hits the trees, ground, bushes, animals, insects, and other things around them, it bounces around in all different directions. But, the bats are able to tell the direction or angle that the echo is coming back from. This lets the bat know the direction that things are. Now, since sound travels very fast, the bat is also able to tell how long the sounds take to come back to them. So, now the bat knows where the echos are coming from AND how far away things are. Since sound travels very fast, this all happens almost instantly, and since the bats also are very, very fast they are able to know exactly where they are while they are flying without using their eyes.

This is one of my daughters favorites (its generally funnier if told by a 4 yr old).\n\nWhy do gorillas have such big noses?\n\nBecause they have big fingers.

Even though they can't distinguish images the eyes of a bat are used to determine relative lighting conditions such as day or night and all hues in between.  This is how they determine if it is night and thus time to feed.

Because it's warm-blooded,  has fur, and gives milk.  (Even though it also lays eggs, which is very un-mammalian, scientists just agreed to classify it that way because it's more like a mammal than anything else.)

Our respiratory is coating in mucous, and also lined with ciliated cells ( they kinda have fingers) that push all the mucous up toward our nose and mouth.  When the mucous gets there then it is either expelled or it dries, making boogers!!

I got this information from the records of yahoo answers as this has been answered before.  \n\nBats are not blind. \nWhat about phrasing the question the other way around? Bats don't have to fly at night because they're blind; rather they have evolved to occupy an ecological niche that involves crepuscular-nocturnal activity. Some bats took the evolutionary path towards small size and echolocation; those are the ones with small eyes and large ears. It's a matter of adaptation: they don't use their eyes as much as their sense of hearing, but usually structures or functions are not lost unless the _loss_ implies some benefit. Relatively small eyes are still functioning eyes!\n\nOther bats that are much bigger, have large eyes and good eyesight; the so-called flying foxes.\nAnd to return to the question: a good reason that bats fly during the night is that they encounter less competition from other animals for their food, which may be insects, flowers, fruits, fish, etc.\nCheck the Special Topics at the Animal Diversity Web: \nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/si...

Are you using it as a bat...dang..  It's like having a third leg there. At least you have somewhere to hang your glove.

they are mammals so they breathe air

I think that bats get it from scratches and fights with other bats.

The rules of the game of cricket limit the allowable size for a bat as not more than 38 in (965 mm) long and the blade may not be more than 4.25 in (108 mm) wide. Bats typically weigh from 2 lb 8 oz to 3 lb (1.1 to 1.4 kg) though there is no standard. The handle is usually covered with a rubber or cloth sleeve to enhance grip and the face of the bat may have a protective film.\n\nNo specific size has been stipulated for handle as per rules.

answer lies in the newton's laws of motion and properties of the sufaces.\n\nsee the ball hits the bat and there is a change of the momentum of the ball by mv + mv1 where m is mass and v is the initial velocity, v1 final velocity of the ball. this much divided by the time is the force supplied to the ball. \n\naluminium has two advantages\n1. now with a aluminium bat the energy utilized in the process will be very low. and the v1 will be quite large. so the momemtum increases hence the force. \n\n2. there is no compression of the bat as compared to the wood so the time of contact with the bat will be very less.\nso the force increases.\n\nand as the force applied to ball is high ball goes further.

ya. here goes. \nQ: Why do gorillas have big nostrils?\nA: Because they have big fingers! ( hehehehe)

Blade made of willow, flat on one side, humped on the other for strength, attached to a sturdy cane handle. The blade has a maximum width of 108 millimetres (4.25 inches) and the whole bat has a maximum length of 965 millimetres (38 inches). \nBats typically weigh from 2 lb 8 oz to 3 lb (1.1 to 1.4 kg) though there is no standard\nthe wieght of bats varies on individgual taste and preference.some players prefer like sachin prefer very heay bats while people like dravid like light bats(comparitively)

If the bat is Shuttle bat,Tennis bat,Badminton bat,they should pickup it tight because it is not too hard.If it is Cricket bat they should pickup it loose because it is too hard.
