12. Dolphin Sonar — The Basis of Modern Ultrasound
Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt by sending out sound waves that reflect off objects. This principle inspired the development of:
- Medical ultrasound imaging
- Submarine sonar
- Underwater communication technologies
- Search-and-rescue scanning tools
Ultrasound has become essential in medicine for monitoring pregnancies, diagnosing conditions, and guiding surgeries.
