Bats use sound waves to navigate their environment by propelling sound out at a frequency and then listening to the frequency of the sound waves that come back to them.
1:21:41 - 1:22:59 (01:18)
Summary
Bats use sound waves to navigate their environment by propelling sound out at a frequency and then listening to the frequency of the sound waves that come back to them. They sense their surroundings using Doppler and can determine if objects are getting closer or further away based on the frequency of sound waves that return.
