Imagine you're playing a game of tag, but it's dark and there are no lights. You make a noise, like ping, and the person playing with you answers back with pong. That’s how bats find their way in the dark! Bats use something called echolocation, which means they send out sounds that bounce off things around them, helping them see where everything is. It's kind of like having a built-in sonar system.
Examples
- A bat sends out a 'ping' and hears a 'pong' from a tree, like playing ping-pong in the dark.
