Do marine animals use ultrasound or infra sound and how?

Answer 1

Smaller animals use sounds of shorter waves - bats live only due to ultrtasonic wav es - while whales are said to communicate in very long sound waves. It is interesting indeed - is there an animal who perceive both?

Answer 2

ultrasonic sounds are sounds above 20khz.

Lots of small mammals (shrews etc) have this, but the best example would be the Bats who use ultrasonic hearing to navigate and catch their prey when flying around in total darkness.

Also, police use ultrasonic whistles to control the dogs. thus dogs can also hear ultrasonic sounds.

Answer 3

Animals that use ultrasonic sounds are a bit more common. Some of these are bats, many rodents, birds, dolphins, porpoises, and orcas and other whales.

Some animals that use infrasonics are pigeons and other migratory birds, elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses, alligators and crocodiles, larger lizards like monitors and komodo dragons, and whales.

Most animals, including humans, can detect sound within certain bandwidths (frequency ranges). Frequencies below about 20Hz and above 20kHz fall outside the humanly-audible bandwidth and are called infrasonic and ultrasonic respectively, i.e. defining the terms.

Answer 4

worms,fish,snakes,crocodiles,sharks, and bats

Answer 5

Bats use it to navigate their caves and dolphins use it to communicate. Mice also use it to attract mates. (Ultrasound)

Answer 6

they're may be more but bats can hear unltrasonic sound

Answer 7

Depending on the species, marine animals may use either ultrasound or infra-sound to communicate with each other. Both of these types of communication are inaudible to the human ear.

Answer 8

Bats use ultrasound. Elephants and crocodiles use infrasound.

Answer 9

Some animals do and some animals don't. Most animals make no use of ultrasound, but bats for example use ultrasonic echolocation to navigate in the dark.

Answer 10

One example is the bats that use ultrasonic echolocation to navigate in the dark.
