The ability to use your own emitted sounds, along with their auditory systems to perceive and localize objects in your environment. Pulses of emitted sound reflect from objects in the animal's path and may be interpreted by the auditory system, much as reflected light waves are interpreted by the visual system. Seen in several species of animals, most notably bats and dolphins.
