The loudest owl competing
with a blue jay for screeching
rights when the crow’s caw
crashes the avian soirée.
Maybe we too use echolocation
as we make our way forward
through grocery aisle cleanups &
gas station sushi bars/taquerias.

In many bat species, thousands to hundreds of thousands of individuals emerge from daytime roosts simultaneously each night, creating what scientists have dubbed a “cocktail party nightmare” of clashing echolocation calls.

Actually yes! A lot of them have moth-like antennae that are used for echolocation :D

3/5 "May 4-Sept 9 survey to record vaquita echolocation clicks, determine its current distribution & estimate abundance based on these sounds. Every 2 weeks, we worked w San Felipe fishers who placed & retrieved hydrophones at 60-80 sampling sites until study area was covered."

I particularly enjoy thinking about this with bats and whales - cousins who have evolved in completely "opposite directions" of scale and habitat, yet both independently arrived at echolocation.
Little and large.
I really like this display at @nhmwien.bsky.social showing the size difference between the biggest and smallest #mammals, with a single #whale vertebra alongside a tiny shrew.

A cave dwelling BBEG (possibly bat-like or amphibious (gorgon-esque?)) who uses echolocation to fight/hunt.
Through the encounter, players can only communicate through whispers/passing notes with the DM.
Is this anything?

Bats are divided into two main groups: microbats and megabats. Most bats are microbats, which are the ones that use echolocation. Megabats are the larger bats that are fruit-eaters and use their strong sense of smell to find food rather than echolocation.

Going a Step Beyond Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors put the “bat” in Batmobile — they use the same echolocation technique as bats to navigate. Both emit high-frequency sound waves that reflect off objects to determine location and proximity.

While ultrasonic sensors help ADAS perceive the world around a vehicle, they have limitations that could be addressed by emerging sensing technologies.

Bats hunting robins (southern Spain)
“They recorded the sound of 611 cases in which they caught insects, but in two of them the attack was much longer, culminating in a vertical flight (with 25 times more echolocation) and robin distress calls.”

Bats use their echolocation abilities to find prey, but also to find each other and avoid obstacles. Iturralde-Pólit &co show that the warm, dry air that comes with climate change, alters these calls, potentially costing the bats more energy to make them

There are +1,400 species of bats on Earth. They can be found on every continent other than Antarctica & use echolocation to get food. They're the only mammals who can fly! Some species of bats are found @ the Hanford Site. These include the brown bat, western myotis, & Yuma myotis. #ScenicSpotlight

as a baseline, a lot of creatures can see, hear, and touch (range 1). some intrinsically have other senses, like a good sense of smell, innate solar magic sensitivity, or echolocation.
and these are complemented by various skills, such as ECHO.
