Bats produce high frequency tones within their throats that deflect off of every object around them. They have highly attuned hearing that can use the reflections of these sounds to determine the location of other objects, in particular food, predators and their general environment.
Animals that use echolocation make a sound, and then use its echo to locate objects like walls and ceilings. Bats use echolocation to keep from flying into buildings and trees, emitting a high-frequency sound that humans cannot hear. Bats also use echolocation to detect their favorite meal-bugs-and to avoid predators.
Though bats are not blind, they eyesight at about the same strength as a human's- and we aren't very good in the dark. Therefore, they use echolocation to determine their relative position near solid objects.
Most do. Fruit bats are active during the day and rely on sight.
Bats emit high frequency sounds which strike objects ,return and felt by ear to locate object , it is echolocation, it is also used by other animals .
bat is a kind of mammal
Do to there massive size ears
Echo
bats
Probably whales, perhaps elephants. Both are known to produce sounds too low in frequency for humans to hear. In fact, there is a common phenomenon that people experience at elephant exhibits it zoos that is described as a vibration in the belly that is caused by the sounds that elephants make.
Bats do have eyes. They hunt at night so eyes are of limited use. Instead, they find their prey by echo location. They emit high pitched squeaks and listen to the echoes which come back to work out where things are.
Yes. Echolocation is an adaptation by bats to nocturnal life style. In night eyes becomes almost useless so bats have adapted to themselves to locate the object, by producing sound and listening the echo of sound produced. They have a skin fold developed between thre fore limbs and hind limbs to fly like a bird. Though bat is amammal.
Bats can fly and echo locate.
Echo
Much like bats use echo location as an extra sense, buffalo enables it to locate the nearest body of water.
------------------------------------------------------- Bats use a type of "sonar" to locate objects even in the dark (echo-location). A bat makes a high-pitched noise that bounces off objects nearby and the bat hears the echo. By timing how long it takes for the bat to hear the echo, it can calculate how far away it is. When it comes to a flying insect, the bat listens to the echo of it's noises and is able to locate where an insect is. Then it can fly to the insect and catch it - even if it is pitch dark. They use echo location. It is tiny beeps, too high pitched for our ears, and dogs ears too! The bats let out the tiny beeps, and the echoes tell them where bugs are.
The eye sight of the bats is very poor. They do not need to see anything; when they fly in night. Survival of this mammal is totally depend on the faculty of hearing. They fly in the night and produce a sound. They get the echo of the sound produced by them. From this echo, they can locate the insects, flying in the air. They can eat the same as food. They can also locate the dangers and other objects, to protect themselves.
To locate prey.
Flying foxes are fruit bats. They do not need to echo-locate flying fruit.
Echolocation is the ability to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off of them, and then measuring the time taken for an echo to return and calculating the direction the echo came from.
Something called echo-location
Bats use a type of "sonar" to locate objects even in the dark (echo-location). A bat makes a high-pitched noise that bounces off objects nearby and the bat hears the echo. By timing how long it takes for the bat to hear the echo, it can calculate how far away it is. When it comes to a flying insect, the bat listens to the echo of it's noises and is able to locate where the insect is. Then it can fly to the insect and catch it - even if it is pitch dark. Their echolocation consists of tiny beeps, too high-pitched for our ears, and the echoes tell them where bugs are. Bats are not actually blind! Bats can actually see very well but at night they use echolocation. This process enables bats to emit sounds from their mouths that bounce off objects and allow them to avoid the objects when flying.
A useful echo is echolocation, which is used by marine animals such as dolphins to locate and then hunt their prey
because bats are blind
