the claim

Bats are not blind and can see in dim light as well as navigating by echolocation.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that bats are not blind and can see in dim light as well as navigating by echolocation?

Unclear. Several sources confirm that bats are not blind and have eyes adapted for very low light, and that they use vision alongside echolocation for navigation. However, the same sources note that insectivorous bats' eyes are degraded and lack sharp visual acuity, so none establishes that bats see in dim light as well as they navigate by echolocation.
