Echolocation is a type of 
natural sonar. It’s kind of 
like a superpower. 
If you pretend you have, it 
works like this: when a 
sound hits an object, an 
echo comes back. The echo 
tells you a lot about your 
environment. For example, 
it tells you where you are, 
how close you are to water, 
or how big your next meal 
will be.
Hey, who are 
you calling 
I chose bats as an example of 
echolocation because I think bats are 
cute and do amazing things. 
ugly?!!!

Bats have large ears so that they can better hear echoes of the 
sounds they make. This picture shows how big their ears can be. I 
took this picture at the Orlando Science Center.
This is how the sound waves travel when a bat is hunting. First, the bat makes a 
sound; then the sound hits the prey and the sound bounces back to the bat’s ear. 
Now, the bat knows how far away his prey is and how big it is.
Some bats can’t see well, so they need echolocation to 
find water and food and to avoid bumping into things. 
This video will explains how this works pretty well.
If I were a bat without 
echolocation, I would be 
hungry and thirsty all the 
time because I would not 
know how to hunt my food 
and find water. 
I would also bump into things and 
hurt myself. It would be like 
walking around with a blindfold. In 
conclusion, bats need 
echolocation to survive. A life 
without echolocation would be 
difficult for a bat.
