Echolocation Explanation.

Explanation template:
This term my class and I are studying about animals that use Echolocation ,  our topic this term is all about Sound and also echolocation. Here are some animals that use echolocation. Bats , Rats , Dolphins , Whales , such as whales. Echolocation means the location of objects by reflected sound like sound waves.


You may think that bats are blind but they are not instead of using their own eyes they listen and hear if there are any sound and they follow the sound, the sound leads them to where they want to go. The thing that happens when an animal makes noises is when they yell the sound vibrates and travels around, and if there is a wall the sound bounces on the wall and vibrates like sound waves and comes back to you. The bats hunt by using their ears to listen for any sound. Animals communicate by using echolocation and maybe just listening to each other for what they are doing lately.

The echo bounces out a signal when you yell or scream, and listening to the echoes and hearing if the signal bounces back.  If the signal does not return than the cave is almost at the end and there is no wall between the cave. If bats and the other animals that use echolocation did not have any echolocation I think that they  would not exists and I also think that they would not know anything or hear anything when they are on there way to some-where like to find their prey.
