I've always been fascinated by bats and their ability to fly around and find food in total darkness. Their secret is known as "echolocation". In short, bats use sound waves and echoes to identify and place objects in the space. They emit ultrasonic sound waves from their mouth and then listen to the echoes generated when the waves bounce back from an object. Analysing the echoes, the bat can understand the size and shape of the object.
