Several types of animals use echolocation, including but not limited to:

Dolphins

Shrews

Most bats

and most whales.

Also, two bird groups use their echolocation to navigate through caves.

Echolocation is used by animals who usually can't see very well, or they live in an environment that is hard to see in the first place. (For example, the oceans.)

They use it to call out, and the echoes of the calls are used to navigate around in their environment. It's also used to hunt as well as navigate.
