bats use echolocation to 'see'. echolocation is when sound waves bounce off an object and back to the bat. the bat then can feel the size, the shape, and even the movement of other predators, prey, each other, and objects

How do animal bats use sound to see?

They don't actually "see" using sound, but yes, they use a sonar-like ability called echolocation to determine distance from objects. They emit ultrasonic sound that only they can hear. When the sound hits an object such, it bounces back and the bat can determine the distance and direction to the object. Also, contrary to popular belief, bats are not blind. They have eyes and limited vision. They primarily use their vision to travel long distances.
