    Bats emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves through their mouths or noses. These waves bounce off objects, and bats use the returning echoes to navigate and locate prey or obstacles in their surroundings through a process called echolocation. This ability allows them to navigate accurately in complete darkness, providing an evolutionary advantage in hunting and avoiding collisions.
