Sound can be used for more than just communication. Many animals such as bats, whales, and even some shrews and birds use sound for navigation and hunting, as well as communication. They do this by using echolocation, which is a technique that uses reflected sound to determine where objects are. Echolocation is a two-part process: the animal makes a sound, and the animal listens to the rebounding sound waves to identify where items are located. Animals like bats, dolphins, shrews, some whales and some birds all use sound—echolocation—to see in the dark.
