Best Answer

Bats are mostly blind so they cry (kind of a screaming/screeching sound), and then they can see the sound waves either bounce off of something that is blocking their way, or just keep going straight in front of them. Then they know weather to turn or go straight.

Why do bats emit pulses of ultrasound INSTEAD of continuous waves of ultrasound to navigate?

For the same reason that radar and sonar systems don't transmit continuously.The information value of these systems comes from interpreting the echo, andit's very difficult ... virtually impossible ... to receive a low-level signal at the samefrequency while you're transmitting.That's also the reason why the protocol for the most effective human conversationinvolves alternate periods of talking and buttoning it.
