Explain how bats locate their insect prey with low and high frequency sound waves. Use the word Echolocation.

Using a process called echolocation, bats emit high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) that bounce off objects in the environment, and then interpret the returning echoes to determine the location, size, and shape of its prey.
