Description
Let's take a look at how the common pipistrelle hunts. Unlike many bats, the common pipistrelle has sharp vision. This bat uses its eyesight in combination with echolocation to zero in on food. The common pipistrelle preys on low-flying insects. Though it flies low, the common pipistrelle doesn't fly slow, reaching speeds of 14 miles per hour, even while performing dives and loops! However, the common pipistrelle can't keep up this frantic pace during the cold months. So, the common pipistrelle goes into hibernation during the winter.
