My Echolocation Writing

Who uses echolocation? Bats, marine mammals as in dolphins, whales Shrews, and some kinds of birds too. These kinds of animals use echolocation to navigate their way around their environment and to try to locate their prey. When they are trying to find their prey they use a high pitched sound. When the sound bounces back to them like an echo it tells them that they have found their food.

Marine mammals do not use echolocation in the same way birds and bats do as they live in the sea whereas bats live in forests and caves. When marine mammals use echolocation they navigate around their environment and use a high pitch sound to locate their prey. Bats and some birds are quite similar to what marine mammals do.

Not only animals use echolocation there is a young teenage boy who uses echolocation as well. His name is Ben. Ben is a boy who can't see with his eyes as he is blind. Since he was a child of about 7 years old he realised that if he used a clicking sound he could find his way around. Ben practices using echolocation all around the house and around his neighbourhood just so that he can get use to it.

Ben washes his false eyes every morning to keep them nice and clean. His mum keeps Ben’s eyes in a safe place so that he could change every day s that his eyes don’t end up being dirty.

So in conclusion echolocation is a way of some animals and people finding their way around their environment to locate their prey
