Best Answer

Bats and dolphins use ultrasound to locate their prey. They use a SONAR (sound and navigation system). They send out ultrasonic waves using their mouth or nose and when the waves hit an object they bounce of and make an echo. Bats can tell what the object is and even the shape and size of it just because of the sound of the echo.

Yes they do. They have little hairs on the ends of there noses and the hairs vibrate when things make noise so they know how far away they are. And they use clicking noises to communicate so when the other dolphins call back they can find each other because of the little hairs. It feels more like peach fuzz.
