What is the ulrasound?
sorry for the spelling mistake. here it is. Ultrasound is a type of sound wave that has a frequency of over 20,000 so it is nearly impossible for a human to hear it. Bats use it to communicate and to see as they have bad eyesight. They use their echo ultrasound to reflect sound so they know if something is in front of them. Humans use ultrasound to see living cells in the body like when a woman is pregnant they it to scan and measure the baby's heart rate. Mice also hear ultrasound and people use special equipment that use ultrasound to scare the mice and other insects away.
Can you hear the ultrasound waves that a bat uses for echolocation?
Bats use their vocal tract to make ultrasonic sound the same way we use our vocal tract to make audible sound. They use these for a form of SONAR navigation allowing them to "see" in total darkness. Also many insect eating bats can focus their ultrasonic sound to use it to stun their prey.
