Echo Location

Echolocation is a sensory method used by certain animals, like bats and dolphins, to navigate and locate objects in their environment. They emit sound waves, which bounce off nearby objects and return to the animal's ears. By analyzing the time it takes for the echoes to return and the changes in sound frequency, these animals can determine the distance, size, and shape of objects around them. This ability allows them to hunt, avoid obstacles, and explore their surroundings, even in complete darkness or murky waters.
