 While foraging, pale spear-nosed bats often travel in groups of up to 12 individuals, flying in single file and taking it in turns to visit flowers.To obtain nectar, they constantly flying back and forth until they have drained the flower, landing only very briefly before taking off again.One remarkable feature of this bat is that it seems to be able to judge the shape of objects from reflected echoes in a manner that is independent of object size.
