Noise from the detonations is detectable up to 40 km from the source and can mask dolphin vocalizations, interfering with their ability to communicate and echolocate. |
With one exception, all birds known to echolocate are swiftlets. |
I walked down Vanderbilt Avenue towards my house, sweaty and bereft of the ability to echolocate. |
Rogers speculates leopard seals might use these clicks to echolocate food and air holes during dark, ice-bound winters. |
He decided that he could compensate for his loss of vision by learning to echolocate, just like a bat, interpreting the shape and dimensions of his surroundings based on how they react to emitted sound waves. |
Species that echolocate in the lower end of the range, such as the hoary bat found across much of the Americas, can sometimes be heard by attentive humans. |
