 We could probably hear it, if we tune in." So they ask around to a couple of their colleagues, and everybody's like, "No, I hadn't thought of doing that. That's an interesting idea." And it turns out Weiffenbach is kind of an expert in microwave reception, and he's got a little antenna set up with an amplifier in his office.

 which is making these series of pulses, and it uses it like a bat uses sonar. Well, a bat uses radar, but when it's underwater it's sonar, so this animal is using sonar to see its world in sound.
