Solution

Solution:-
Echolocation Echolocation is the use of ultra-high frequency sounds for navigation and locating prey.
It is used by mammals like dolphins, whales and bats.
Dolphins and whales use echolocation by bouncing high-pitched clicking sounds off underwater objects, similar to shouting and listening for echoes while bats make echolocating sounds in their larynxes and emit them through their mouths.
