what is echolocation? how is the dolphin body adapt for it?
Answers
Dolphins and other toothed whales locate food and other objects in the ocean through echolocation. In echolocating, they produce short broad-spectrum burst-pulses that sound to us like "clicks." These "clicks" are reflected from objects of interest to the whale and provide information to the whale on food sources.
Echolocation. Using a similar principle as ship radar, dolphins bounce sound off objects to ascertain their shape and properties. This adaptation helps them communicate with other dolphins, avoid predators and hunt when light conditions are not optimal. Dolphins generate up to 1,000 clicking noises per second.
