Dolphins use echolocation by emitting sounds, usually clicks or whistles, which travel through the water. These sounds bounce off objects in their environment and echo back to the dolphins. By listening to the echoes, dolphins can determine the location, size, shape, and even material of objects around them. This ability helps them navigate, locate food, and communicate with each other in the water.
