Detailed explanation-1: -Echolocation, also called bio sonar, is a biological sonar used by several animal species. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Echolocation. The use of reflected SOUND WAVEs for obtaining environmental information. Certain animals, such as the bat and the porpoise, emit pulses of extremely high frequency sound (up to 50 kHz for bats, and up to 170 kHz for porpoises and whales) in narrow, intense streams.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dolphins and other toothed whales locate food and other objects in the ocean through echolocation. In echolocating, they produce short broad-spectrum burst-pulses that sound to us like “clicks.” These “clicks” are reflected from objects of interest to the whale and provide information to the whale on food sources.
