Biological sonar of bats. The yellow half circles show the series of high-pitched sounds that many bats emit to help them navigate when flying at night,and to detect and capture their prey. The sounds reflected off surrounding objects are detected by well-developed organs in the inner ear used for echolocation. Bats with this refined sense of echolocation usually also have large external ears | |
