Echolocation lets animals use sound as a guide in places where vision fails. They send out clicks, chirps, or taps and interpret the returning echoes to find prey, avoid danger, or move confidently in ...

In a study published in Science, Goldshtein et al. explored how small echolocating bats, specifically Kuhl’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii), navigate complex environments using different sensory ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...
