There are a number of animals that use ultrasonic frequencies.

The most common known is bats, who use echolocation to "see" and to find prey. Dolphins can emit anywhere from 250hz to 220khz (Humans can only hear lower than 20khz). Like bats, they use it as kind of a sonar to view through murky waters.

In addition, some species of insects and amphibians can, but that is left as an exercise to the reader to find them as there are quite a few.
