Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

Echolocation is a mechanism that can allow you to navigate the environment by using sound instead of sight. Animals like bats and dolphins are famous for their echolocation skills — however, not many ...

The use of reflected sounds to navigate, known as echolocation, is a behaviour most associated with bats, whales and dolphins, but other species also use the sensory technique — including humans. It ...

A new study published in the journal Science reveals that Kuhl's pipistrelle bats can navigate over long distances using echolocation and vision. The research describes how these bats can identify ...

Nature’s own sonar system, echolocation occurs when an animal emits a sound wave that bounces off an object, returning an echo that provides information about the object’s distance and size. Over a ...

Echolocation is a technique that uses sound waves to find and detect objects. Some studies suggest that some blind people have developed echolocation to better navigate the world around them. Some ...

Many species of bats use echolocation to avoid obstacles like tree branches and hunt small insects as they fly through the dark. But it turns out echolocation for bats is much more than just a ...

Searching for food at night can be tricky. To find prey in the dark, bats use echolocation, their “sixth sense.” But to find food faster, some species, like Molossus molossus, may search within ...
