Answer 1

The Correct answer is Bat.

Key Points

Bats are the only mammals capable of sustained flight.
Bats use echolocation to navigate and find food in the dark.
They emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects and return to them, helping them to create a mental map of their surroundings.
Different species of bats can emit echolocation calls at frequencies ranging from 14,000 to over 100,000 Hz.
This ability allows them to hunt insects and avoid obstacles in complete darkness.
