Echolocation

Posted by Shauna | Labels:

You may remember my precious boy child giving me a little vocabulary lesson about a month ago.

Well, I got another one just a few moments ago.

Goes like this:

CHASE: "....blah blah blah ...... something about bats......blah blah blah...."

MOM: "oh yeah, bats are cool."

CHASE: "Mom, do you know what echolocation is?"

MOM: "No......DO YOU????"

CHASE: "blah blah blah....something about bats.....blah blah blah...."


ech·o·lo·ca·tion

(ěk'ō-lō-kā'shən) Pronunciation Key
n. In both senses also called echo ranging.
  1. A sensory system in certain animals, such as bats and dolphins, in which usually high-pitched sounds are emitted and their echoes interpreted to determine the direction and distance of objects.
