| These noise disturbances could be hindering the ability of killer whales to communicate and echolocate – the process of using sound to bounce off objects such as prey and identify where they are. |
| Rogers speculates leopard seals might use these clicks to echolocate food and air holes during dark, ice-bound winters. |
| I walked down Vanderbilt Avenue towards my house, sweaty and bereft of the ability to echolocate. |
| 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. |
| Toothed whales echolocate by producing clicking sounds and then receiving and interpreting the resulting echo. |
| 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. |
