I am interested in knowing the hearing ranged of various
animals.  I am aware that at best the human being is 20 Hz
to 20 KHz.
So what about the dog, cat and the bat that uses this as a
sonar.
I have recently heard on radio that the giraffe that was
thought to be silent actually uses subsonic sound of a few
herts.
