Where are you?

Hi guys.
I'm right here,

trying to take my nap.

Oh, ah...
hello,

um, we're sorry for spoiling
your sleep, Zapata,

but we need your help.

Can you really find your
way around in the dark?

Oh sure.
Hey, it's easy!

Not for us.

Can you show us
how to do it?

Turn off the
light and watch me!

[bat squeaks]

[gasps]
How'd he do that?

You must have
really great eyes

to get around in the dark
like that, Zapata.

Eyes?
No.

Ears.
Yes!

Ears!?

You use your ears?

Sure, like when you were
listening to your echoes.

But the echo was
just our voices

bouncing off the walls.

Right. And I am listening
for my squeaking.

If there's something
in front of me

I hear my squeak
bounce back to me.

[squeaking]

[laughs]
So I go another way!

Hey,
batter-batter-batter.

[Gasp] Zapata's squeak
bounces off the walls

like a baseball!

Or an echo!

Echo!

That's how you
know when to turn.

It's called
'Echolocation.'

Uhh...Echo-lo...?

Echolocation...

Hello!

[ LOUD HELLO ]

Wow!

It must have
bounced off that

our path.

Oh, I can't
wait to try

these ears out playing
Blindfold tag.

So, if the path is
blocked this way...

...then the way out
must be this way!

This way!

To the Thingamajigger!

Oh oh.

Looks like this flashlight
has lost its flash!

Hmm...
How are we going to find

our way back in the dark?

By using our
bat-ears of course!

Just like
Zapata!

Hello-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Helllooo!

Wow!
These Bat-ears

tell just where
the echoes are coming from!

Yeah, your voice bounced
off the wall over there.

So we go this way!

Well done.

Yodel-eh-heee-hooo!

Yodel-eh-heee-hooo!

Your voice is bouncing

And that's using your ears!

Hello?

Hello!

Hello?
Hello?

HELLLOOOO?

That's not an echo!

It's Fish!
Hello Fish.

Hello!

We found the way out.

What took you so long?

Um... and what's
with those ears?

We went into a cave
to find a small bat,

Who can see in the dark,

it's as simple as that!

I know it sounds batty,

but he taught us the knack

Of throwing a sound,

and catching it back.

It's called Echolocation.

Finding your way in the
dark, can take years!

But not if you use
both your eyes...

and your ears!

[laughs]

Thanks,
Zapata.

Maybe we'll bump into
you again sometime soon.

Not if I hear you first.

See Ya!

I'm it!

Only this time

I'm going to use
my ears like a bat.
