The video examines bats by comparing their abilities with those of birds, rodents, and other small mammals. Footage ...

Scientists have captured a rare view of one of the ocean's least understood whales—without ever seeing it. By listening to ...

Echolocation lets animals use sound as a guide in places where vision fails. They send out clicks, chirps, or taps and interpret the returning echoes to find prey, avoid danger, or move confidently in ...

Toothed whales use sound to find their way around, detect objects, and catch fish. They can investigate their environment by making clicking sounds, and then decoding the "echoic return signal" ...

According to recent research by German and Israeli scientists, bats’ echolocation maps are far more expansive than previously thought, allowing them to navigate journeys spanning several kilometers.

Deep-diving whales that rely on sound rather than vision to hunt in the ocean’s darkest depths are confusing plastic marine debris for prey, new findings suggest. For the study, “Acoustic signature of ...

Many species of bats use echolocation to avoid obstacles like tree branches and hunt small insects as they fly through the dark. But it turns out echolocation for bats is much more than just a ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

Real-life stories of blind people, such as David Kish, using click-based echolocation to navigate their way through their environment have inspired studies into how to help others to do it. In 2021, ...

New research shows that the brains of sighted and blind people adapt in a similar way when they learn to use sound echoes to understand the world without vision. The study, led by Durham University, ...
