The mammal known for its echolocation abilities is the "bat." Bats are unique among mammals for their ability to navigate and locate prey in the dark by emitting high-frequency sound waves and listening for the echoes that bounce back. This sophisticated biological sonar system allows them to detect obstacles, find food, and communicate with each other effectively. There are over 1,400 species of bats worldwide, and they play essential roles in ecosystems, including pollination and pest control. Their echolocation capabilities are a fascinating adaptation that has evolved over millions of years.
