Animals navigate using senses other than sight through a process called "echolocation" or by using their sense of smell, hearing, and feeling. Echolocation involves emitting sounds and listening to the echoes to determine the location of objects in their environment. Animals like bats, dolphins, and some birds use echolocation to navigate. Other animals rely on their sense of smell to follow scents or pheromones in the environment. Some animals have highly developed hearing abilities that help them detect sounds and navigate based on the sounds they hear. Additionally, animals like sharks and birds can also sense electrical fields or magnetic fields to navigate over long distances.
