    • Bats search out prey and fly in dark night by emitting and detecting reflections of ultrasonic waves. 
    • The high pitched ultrasonic squeaks of the bat are reflected from the obstacles or prey and returned to bat’s ear. 
    • The nature of reflections tells the bat where the obstacle or prey is and what it is like. 
    • The bats use ultrasound for navigation and location of the food in dark.
