Acoustic эхolocation

Acoustic echolocation is a process animals use to perceive their surroundings by emitting sound waves and listening for echoes. When an animal, like a bat or dolphin, makes a sound, the echoes that bounce back from objects provide information about their distance, size, and shape. This biological sonar allows them to navigate, hunt, and avoid obstacles in dark or murky environments where vision might be limited. The technique relies on analyzing the timing and characteristics of returning sounds, enabling precise spatial awareness without sight.
