4. ECHOLOCATIO
N
and how it works
Bats send out sound waves using
their mouth or nose. When the
sound hits an object an echo
comes back. The bat can identify
an object by the sound of the
echo. They can even tell the size,
shape and texture of a tiny insect
from its echo. Most bats use
echolocation to navigate in the
dark and find food.
