Echolocation: system that allows navigation and finding prey.<\/h3>\n

Teethed cetaceans are animals that feed mainly on fish and squid, echolocation. As they are in an environment that may have reduced visibility, these marine mammals use a system that allows navigation and finding prey. This system takes advantage of the good propagation that sound has in the water.<\/p>\n

These animals have membranes that produce sound that is then amplified by another organ called a melon.<\/p>\n

These sound waves travel through the water until they hit an object. When reflected, they are captured by these marine mammals, through a special tissue found in their jaws. The brain then interprets the distance at which the prey may be and forms an \u201cimage\u201d of the surroundings.<\/p>\n

The four species of cetaceans that are resident here in the Azores are part of the toothed cetaceans and, as such, use this system.<\/p>\n
