Which acoustic adaptation enables echolocating bats to discriminate prey texture?

💡 Explanation

Pinna shape changes directionally filter returning echoes; because this spatial hearing enhances texture analysis by creating unique acoustic signatures, therefore bats improve discrimination rather than relying solely on spectral changes.
