How does echolocation work?🦇🦇Bats use echolocation to visualize their environment and find prey 🦟. Echolocation works by sending out sonic waves that are reflected back to the animal. Their brains are able to then interpret the stimulus to judge the distance and size of an object. Other animals who navigate environments that are difficult to see in use echolocation as well including 🐬 and 🐋. Click the link in my bio to learn more! "Sometimes sound is used almost like sight. Bats use echoloc

Dolphins use echolocation, or biosonar, to navigate, locate food, and investigate their surroundings. They emit a series of clicks through their melon, their round forehead. The sound waves bounce off of objects, and return to the dolphin, who receives the sound waves through their lower jawbone. 🐬 Video by Kip Evans from the Cocos Island Hope Spot | Mission Blue

Sperm whales detect prey by using echolocation clicks, enabling them pinpoint a single squid from a thousand feet away. The sperm whale is capable of producing phonation with the highest acoustical energy concentrated signal of all living beings. 🎥: Liam Ballfish via GoPro | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR
