A bat uses clicks called echolocation. The sound waves bounce off whatever that certain species of bat feeds on. ( Bugs, fruit etc...) The bat's excellent hearing picks up that sound wave that bounces back which helps it find the exact location of it's prey.

A few animals use echolocation and sound waves to communicate. Elephants for example, stomp their feet feet. These sound waves can be heard from miles away, allowing the 6 ton animals to keep in touch. Some other animals that do similar things are the bat, the whale and the flying squirrel.
