Question

Explain how bats use ultrasound to catch prey?

Answer 1

Echolocation:

1. Bats catch insects with the help of a progressive navigation technique known as echolocation.
2. They are known to emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves which are too high for the biological hearing of humans.
3. These sounds get reflected when it hits various objects and revert to the bats as echoes.
4. This echo enables them to produce a cognitive map of their surroundings. When bats fly, they produce ultrasonic waves.
