Lazzaro Spallanzani, an Italian biologist and physiologist in the 18th century, conducted experiments that led to the discovery of echolocation. He observed that bats could navigate and hunt in complete darkness, which suggested they used sound to perceive their environment. By blocking the bats' vision and noting their ability to still locate objects using emitted sounds, Spallanzani demonstrated that these animals relied on auditory cues, laying the groundwork for the understanding of echolocation. His work highlighted the importance of sound in animal navigation and communication.
