With changes in their prey, some bats have changed their flying techniques accordingly so that they can hover like humming birds in front of a flower's stamens and lick out the nectar using their long tongues. Then there is a type of Mexican fish-eating bat that can catch fish on the surface of water, and types of bat that can dive out of the sky to catch frogs and lizards.
獵物改變，有少數蝙蝠的飛行技巧也跟著改良，它們能像蜂鳥一般，騰空停在花蕊面前，把纖長的舌頭伸進花苞中收集汁液；美洲的墨西哥食魚蝙蝠，能在水面上捕魚；也有一些蝙蝠能由空而降獵捕青蛙、蜥蜴。
