Echolocation and Nocturnal Animals

The video tutorial explores how light aids human vision at night and introduces nocturnal animals with adaptations for seeing in the dark. It focuses on bats, explaining their unique use of echolocation to navigate and hunt in complete darkness. Bats emit ultrasonic sounds, which are inaudible to humans, to detect their surroundings. The video also highlights how bats manage their hearing to avoid deafening themselves with their own loud sounds.
