Evidence for echolocation in harbour seals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
Evidence is given which suggests that harbour seals use some form of echolocation. When visual cues are reduced, these seals make click vocalizations similar to those of animals which are known to echolocate. They are able to find live fish in total darkness, producing clicks while doing so.
