Dolphins and whales use echolocation (their biological sonar) to find food and chat with one another. You'll have heard them on nature documentaries with their series of whistles and clicks.

Think that all bats use echolocation? They don't! There are two kinds of bats: microbats and megabats. All microbats echolocate but of the megabats, just the Egyptian Fruit Bat has this amazing skill. It only eats fruit, but does use the skill for navigation and communication.
