Dolphins use echolocation to navigate by emitting high-frequency sounds through their melon (a fatty organ on their forehead). These sound waves travel through the water and bounce off objects in their environment. The dolphins then listen for the echoes produced by these sound waves to determine the location, size, shape, and distance of objects around them. This allows them to navigate, hunt for prey, and avoid obstacles even in dark or murky waters.
