6. Echolocation
 When dolphins are in murky waters or in the dark
parts of the ocean they can’t see. They use
echolocation to find food or other dolphins. Dolphins
can make a high pitched clicking sound. When the
click hits a object some of the sound will echo back.
By listening to the echo and estimating the time it
took to come back they can guess the distance of the
object.
