The fishing bat (Noctilionidae: Noctilio leporinus) uses its echolocation to detect ripples at the surface of the water. It then swoops down and drags its forward-pointing toe claws along the water to gaffe whatever small fish was unlucky enough to generate those ripples. I think this bat also looks a lot like a flying orange Boston Terrier.
