Bat in Driveway
At about five pm in Ohio I found a bat laying on my driveway next to my house. I went to pick it up with a shovel but it lifted its head and kinda hissed at it but then remained still afterwards so I decided to leave it be. At about 8 pm looked out the window and didn't see it there anymore. What would cause it to just lay there at that time of the afternoon? Rabies? Also would it have been able to crawl away and climb up something to fly off? Slightly worried that it would've have crawled to the backyard where my dog hangs out. It looked like a little brown bat. Thanks

Can bats do airplane ears?
Hello bat people; I have what could potentially be a dumb question, but can bats do airplane ears like cats do? I know they can pivot their ears around, but do they specifically do airplane ears? If so, would it be for the same reason cats do? Google hasn't been much help on this quest of mine :(
