I just had a crazy idea ... Sorry if this is off

anyone know what frequency ranges bats use? Would a 96KHz 24bit card be
able to capture anything useful from their sounds?
Depends on the bats, but
generally yes. Some of them are on the edge of the
human hearing range (I used to be able to hear the bats at my parents' house,
although my hearing is no longer quite good enough).
First Google hit for "frequency range of bats" is a bit less optimistic than I
am:

Either way, wouldn't the microphone be more of a limiting factor than the
soundcard?
I suppose so. I really didn't think much about this before asking ...
