(A) Nycteris is a carnivorous bat that ‘gleans’ prey such as frogs and lizards from the ground. (B) Plecotus, the long-eared bat specializes on non-flying prey from leaves on trees. (C) The Mexican free-tailed bat, Tararida forages insects high above the canopy. (D) Some species of Eptesicus, the big brown bat, forage for insects in small open clearings.

Gray whales echolocate at frequencies up to 200kHZ in the water. The distance between their ears is about 9m. A sound made at 20Hz produces a wavelength of what in water? Would gray whales be able to localize this sound using intensity cues, phase differences or neither? (Remember that speed of sound in water is 1350m/s).
