Explanation by: Manisha Agrawal

Bats use a technique called echolocation to navigate and detect obstacles, especially in the dark.

  • They emit ultrasonic sound waves (sound waves with frequency above 20,000 Hz, which is beyond human hearing).
  • These sound waves bounce off objects and return to the bat's ears, helping them understand the size, shape, and distance of the object.
