| The rivers used by most platanistids are muddy, and these animals probably rely on echolocation more than vision to locate their prey. |
| Like bats using echolocation to navigate through the night, geophysicists rely on seismic waves for information on the Earth's deep interior. |
| Odontocete cetaceans rely upon echolocation to sense the environment and detect prey. |
| Flying foxes use their excellent eyesight more than echolocation, or bouncing sounds, to locate their food at night. |
| Moths typically go into erratic dives when they sense that they have been detected by nearby bats using echolocation. |
| Like bats, dolphins use echolocation, an internal sonar system, to help them navigate, avoid predators and find food. |
