Do fruit eating bats have good sense of smell?

Fruit bats, also known as megabats, have a keen sense of smell that helps them locate ripe fruit in the darkness.

Their nostrils are large and located on the front of their face, allowing them to detect even faint scents. Fruit bats use their sense of smell to distinguish between different types of fruit, identify ripe fruit, and avoid overripe or rotten fruit.
