Orcas have the ability to use echolocation kind of like bats do. Orcas send out high pitched clicking sounds and when these sounds hit an object it echos back. The echolocation sense is able to determine the distance,size,speed,shape,and direction of an object from the echo.
The sound being sent and the echo coming back happens very fast. It is believed that an orca's clicks can be heard by other orcas up to five miles away.
