How do marine mammals use echolocation?

Answer 1

They use it to find were they are going, such as the toothed whale or a blue whale. Hope this is useful! :D :) ;D

Answer 2

a sperm whale will use echolocation when they dive down extremely deep to find food, since their eyes will no longer help them due to lack of light, the echolocation helps them know what their surroundings are

Answer 3

Whales and dolphins echolocate-emit clicking sounds that bounce off prey or objects in order to locate and identify them. Some scientists think that captive whales and dolphins do this much more than wild populations. Although all whales chatter up a storm to keep in contact with each other and to communicate (what, scientists don't know,) some whales may not use echolocation at all, but may find their prey simply by listening. The fact that sperm whales and right whales are struck by boats suggests they may not be using echolocation to avoid these large objects.

Answer 4

Echolocation is important to marine mammals because it allows them to navigate and feed in the dark at night and in deep or murky water where it is not easy to see. Toothed whales, including beluga whales, sperm whales, dolphins, and porpoises are known to echolocate. Marine mammals use sound to obtain information about their surroundings and to find food. They do this by producing sounds or sonar clicks that are reflected back when they strike an object.

Answer 6

They use echolocation basically as their eyes. It helps them "see". The sound bounces off of objects and the water and they are able to determine where things are located

Answer 7

Mainly sperm whales cause they dive 2000F into the blackness to feed on squid.

Answer 8

yes they do
