sonar in animals

Vocalization echoes give information. Dolphins and bats expanded this ability. Dolphins and bats use sonar {sonar, animal} to locate and categorize objects. They can project known signals into environment, receive reflected signals, and interpret altered signals. Signaling evolved from vocalization. Receiving evolved from auditory-brain sound processing, which locates and categorizes sounds.
