What Are the Natural Predators of Bats?

Owls: Nocturnal birds of prey with excellent hearing and vision that track and capture bats in flight.

Hawks: Birds of prey with powerful talons used to catch bats.

Falcons: Small, fast-flying birds of prey with long pointed wings and sharp talons that catch bats mid-air.

Snakes: Some species, such as rat snakes and king snakes, enter caves and roosting sites to prey on bats.

Other bats: Some larger bat species prey on smaller bats using sharp teeth.
