Rhinolophus species use a highly sophisticated echolocation system. They use the so-called Doppler shift effect to differentiate in the frequency range the call they emit from the returning echos. This means they can emit call and receive+process echoes at the same time! #bats
Given that they emit their echolocation calls through their nose (they can also emit through the mouth by the way), they can eat and echolocate at the same time.
Bon appetit!
