A Moth and an Echo

The heading is “A Bat Listens.” A little brown bat flies at night. It looks for small bugs to eat. In the dark, a bug can be hard to see.

The bat makes a high call. A call is a sound an animal makes. This call is too high for us to hear.

The sound hits a moth and bounces back. That sound is an echo. An echo is a sound that comes back.

The bat hears the echo. It helps the bat find the moth. Then the bat can catch its food.

A picture shows sound going out and back. Its caption says, “Sound helps a bat find food.”
