echolocations
Bat navigation method
Echolocations is the plural of echolocation, the biological sonar used by bats, dolphins, and some other animals to navigate and locate prey.
The animal emits sounds and interprets the returning echoes to map its surroundings.
The plural appears when discussing multiple instances or species: The different echolocations of various bat species have been studied extensively.
