Echolocation Techniques

Echolocation is a technique used by certain animals, like bats and dolphins, to navigate and locate objects in their environment. They emit sound waves that travel through the air or water, bouncing off nearby objects. By listening to the echoes that return, these animals can determine the distance, size, and shape of objects around them. This ability helps them find food, avoid obstacles, and navigate in darkness or murky waters. Echolocation showcases how some species have evolved sophisticated biological systems to interpret their surroundings without relying on sight.
