Dolphins have the most advanced natural sonar system on Earth. They emit high-frequency clicks and interpret the echoes to pinpoint objects—even in murky water. Their "melon" organ focuses the sound waves, while their jawbone receives the echoes. Modern sonar systems mimic this exact setup, helping submarines, fishing boats, and ocean researchers "see" underwater.
