Echolocation

The use of reflected sound waves to locate objects
Real World Example
Imagine walking through your house at night when the power is out, and you're trying to find your way to the kitchen without bumping into furniture. Just like you rely on your sense of touch and memory to navigate in the dark, bats use echolocation to "see" their surroundings by emitting sound waves that bounce off objects and return as echoes. In this analogy, your hands and memory are like the sound waves sent out by bats, and the feedback you get from touching furniture is akin to the echoes that guide them, helping both you and the bats avoid obstacles and reach your destinations safely.
