How bats don’t fatally crash into each other every night when they squeeze out of caves to forage was a scientific mystery. Echolocating bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation: they ...

Many bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation: they emit a call and listen for the reflected echo, which in turn allows them to "see" what is around them. But if many bats are ...

What matters is detecting the bat directly in front of you. That’s the one you’ll collide with if you’re not careful. So you change your echolocation in a way that gives you the best detail ...

How do bats see in the dark? Bats use their very special mouthes and noses to make an echolocation sound. Echolocation works by the bats making sounds which bounce off an object and then it ...

A new study published in the journal Science reveals that Kuhl's pipistrelle bats can navigate over long distances using echolocation and vision. The research describes how these bats can identify ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them.
