How Bats See With Sound
Bats donβt rely on vision the way humans do. Instead, they navigate the world using sound.
They emit high frequency calls and listen to the echoes that bounce back from objects around them. This process is called echolocation.
From these echoes, a bat can determine the size, shape, distance, and even the movement of an object in complete darkness. Some bats can detect something as thin as a human hair in midair.
What seems like darkness to us is actually a detailed sound map to a bat.
A different way of sensing reality, built entirely by nature.
