Like most insectivorous bats, the New Zealand short-tailed bat hunts insects in the air by using echolocation. |
It's been known since the 1930s, with the discovery of bat echolocation, that animals can produce pitches too high for human hearing. |
Using echolocation, ghost bats hunt for large insects, lizards, frogs, birds and even other bats. |
Like bats using echolocation to navigate through the night, geophysicists rely on seismic waves for information on the Earth's deep interior. |
The ear is the most important sense organ for modern toothed whales, say scientists, because these whales locate their prey using echolocation. |
The rivers used by most platanistids are muddy, and these animals probably rely on echolocation more than vision to locate their prey. |
