Dolphins possess the remarkable ability to echolocate, allowing them to “see” underwater without their eyes. During this interactive training exercise, our dolphin uses echolocation to discern specific shapes, by playing a matching game. It’s entirely his choice to participate; if he does, he’ll wear soft eye covers and use echolocation to find and match the designated shape At any point, he has the freedom to remove the eye covers simply by opening his mouth. This cognitive exercise is designed

Catch me if you can…🐋 Orcas (Orcinus orca) hunt by echolocation, a technique that uses sound waves and echoes to identify and locate prey. Once transmitted, these sounds then bounce back from fish and other prey, and give them important information about their next snack, such as size and proximity. Meet the animals striving to survive in our fragile frozen worlds. This is life on thin ice. ❄️ #FrozenPlanet2 Find out where to watch 👉 https://www.bbcearth.com/shows/frozen-planet-2 | BBC Earth

Orcas don’t just hunt with their eyes — they see with sound. Every echolocation click bounces off the salmon in front of them, and each species sends back its own unique echo. Why? Because every salmon has a different swim bladder shape and size — like an acoustic fingerprint. This means an orca can hear whether it’s Chinook, Sockeye, or Coho long before it sees it. They also use: • Depth (some species swim deeper) • Movement patterns • Body size & shape Put together, these clues help orcas choo
