A student claimed that elephants and bats both receive sound information, but

respond to the sounds differently.

Use information from the Animal Senses Model to support this claim.

Answer explanation

Elephants receive vibrations through the ground in order to find mates far away,

while bats process reflected sound vibration received through their ears in order

to locate prey/distant objects.

Elephants receive sound information through their feet in order to find mates,

while bats receive sound through their ears to find prey.

Elephants use sound information to find mates, and bats use sound information to

find prey.
