Are bats color blind

This idea that bats are unable to see stems from a very well known phase: "as blind as a bat". It is however, untrue. Although a bat cannot see in colour, it can see better than a human at night. They also use their echolocation to gain a better picture of what is around them, which is in many case more accurate and sensitive than an eye, enabling the bat to see very clearly in even the darkest of nights.
