Did you know dolphins see with sound? Dolphins have a wide range of hearing and they use a series of vocalizations like whistles and clicks to locate their prey. When the sound goes and hits on the prey, the waves are sent back to the origin. Dolphins have an organ in their head called Melon which helps them collect these sound waves like a radar. Dolphin hearing is mostly done through the vibrations in their lower jaw. Its lower jaw contains a void filled with fats which acts as a reverb-chamber. It connects the lower jaw to the inner ear and this helps in the transmission of sound.
Dolphins have been into existence for almost 55 million years until now. Most of us know that bats use this method of echolocation but dolphins have been using this even more effectively, says studies. Scientists have found that Dolphin sonar is superior to ones used by bats and even more effective than man-made sonars. Amazon river dolphins also known as pink river dolphins, a species of toothed whale classified in the Iniidae family can rotate their head 90 degrees because they do not have fused neck bones.
