What Is Echolocation? | Earth Unplugged

Echolocation allows animals to build up an understanding of their surroundings but how does it work? Subscribe to Earth Unplugged for more amazing animal videos - http://bit.ly/SubscribeToEarthUnplugged Animals use echolocation to hunt and better understand their surrounds. Animals that practice echolocation create a series of sounds, they can then infer from the strength, pitch and time of the echo where prey are and how they are moving though the surroundings.
