Question

Explain how bats use ultrasound to catch prey ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bats use ultrasound to navigate (move) and catch prey. Bats produce high frequency ultrasonic squeaks. These squeaks reflect on prey and return back to bats ear. This gives bats idea of location of prey and hence they catch the prey.26-

Answer 2

• Bats capture insects by flying low and fast, at 40 meters per second. They utilize their hearing to travel in the evenings, though.
• The powerful navigation technique known as echolocation is used by bats to collect insects.
• Ultrasonic waves at a frequency of 20-100 kHz are known to be emitted by them.
• This is too loud for human hearing.
• These noises are echoed back to the bats as they hit different things.
• They can create a mental map of their environment with the help of this echo.
• In the event of snow, rain, or strong winds, these echo signals may be disrupted, yet they still catch their prey.
• Ultrasonic waves are created as bats fly.
• Bats' ears are so well-trained and sensitive that they can tell the type of the reflected surface in addition to gaining distance information.
