What ability do dolphins and bats share?
they both use ecolocation to see and hear
Why do dolphins use sound?
dolphins send out a click that bounces off of other objects near them. The longer the time to get the vibrations back to the dolphin is how far away the object is in front of them.
Why do dolphins use ecolocation?
Dolphins, as well as other sea mammals, use ecolocation as a way to identify their surroundings, just like humans use eyes. They need, however, to use this because light does not penetrate enough through the water to allow them to have a clear vision. Most sea animals have adapted their bodies to respond to this (dolphins use ecolocation, sharks use electric sensors, etc). Besides, recent studies link the dolphin's ecolocation to a more complex system of comunication and identification of individuals, just like we use names. Hope this helps
Echolocation is associated with which animal?
well im not much of a exepert but dolphins and bats use ecolocation
Is echolocation useful?
Echolocation is useful because it helps bats, shrews, dolphins/whales etc. It has evolved to allow the animals to "see" around them in the night (bats) or in murky water (dolphins/whales) otherwise these animals would have died
What is it called when bats, whales, and dolphins emit sound waves and interpret the reflect sound waves as a means to locate objects?
Sonar is a system that locates objects by transmitting sound waves and detecting the waves when they are reflected off of objects. Bats and many other animals, such as whales and dolphins, use natural sonar to navigate and capture

Do you know anything about dolphins?
Dolphins work as a team! when there is a school of fish, one dolphin will often swim around them really fast until a wall of dust if picked up from the bottom and trapped the fish. Now, because the fish can not see, they try to jump out of the water, and over the wall of dust. when they do this, the other dolphins are waiting and eat them! they are very clever animals! Dolphins are mammals. There are more than 40 types of dolphins. Dolphins use ecolocation to find out where things are.
