echolocation

The use of echoes to detect objects as observed in bats and other natural creatures. Also known as biosonar

echolocation

is a method of perception used to find out information about the animals surroundings and finding prey Echolocation is used by animals such as orca, and bats and is a system similar to submarine sonar An orca produces series of very loud clicks and the signal ‘hits’ objects and bounces back The orca’s brain processes the information and the orca can then ‘see’ the image Orca use echolocation to find out about their surroundings, where prey are and where other members of their pod are

echolocation

the ability of an animal to orient itself by receiving the reflection of sounds it produces, such as with bats and dolphins

echolocation

the process whereby the distance and direction of objects is determined by the reception of the reflection of an ultrasonic pulse (Morris 1992)

echolocation

{i} method of locating objects by calculating the amount of time it takes for an echo to return (as in sonar or radar)

echolocation

determining the location of something by measuring the time it takes for an echo to return from it

echolocation

the process of direction finding based upon reflected echoes

echolocation

The detection of an object by means of reflected sound It is used by bats and dolphins

echolocation

A series of short, high-pitched sounds, emitted by an animal Used to detect obstacles, communicate with other fellow species, and to find food Besides bats, echolocation is found in dolphins, seals, shrews etc

echolocation

The determination of the position of an object from the direction of an echo reflected from the object and/or the time taken for the echo to return This technique is used by bats to locate insect prey

echolocation

a process for locating distant or invisible objects This is accomplished by emitting sound waves, which are reflected back to the emitter by objects in their path

echolocation

the sonar-like ability used by bats, dolphins, and other animals to detect objects Using echolocation, the animal emits high-pitched sounds that reflect off of an object and return to the ears or other sensory receptors

echolocation

Echolocation is a system used by some animals to determine the position of an object by measuring how long it takes for an echo to return from the object. Most bats navigate by echolocation. Physiological process for locating distant or invisible objects (such as prey) by emitting sound waves that are reflected back to the emitter by the objects. Echolocation is used by an animal to orient itself, avoid obstacles, find food, and interact socially. Most bats employ echolocation, as do most, if not all, toothed whales (but apparently no baleen whales), a few shrews, and two kinds of birds (oilbirds and certain cave swiftlets). Echolocation pulses consist of short bursts of sound at frequencies ranging from about 1,000 Hz in birds to at least 200,000 Hz in whales. Bats use frequencies from about 30,000 to about 120,000 Hz
