Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bats are the most numerous and widespread animals that use sonar, which they also call echolocation, to navigate in the dark. This is because they have evolved to have specialized auditory systems that allow them to emit high-frequency sounds and detect their echoes, enabling them to locate prey, avoid obstacles, and find roosts. Additionally, bats can fly, which gives them access to many different habitats, ranging from forests to deserts and cities. While other animals on the list also use sonar, such as whales, dolphins, and owls, they are more restricted in their movements and ecological niches, and therefore less numerous and widespread than bats. Shrews also use echolocation, but they are much smaller and less complex than bats and have fewer ecological roles.
