Animal Senses
From dolphins and bats using echolocation, to a small insect’s unbelievable ability not to get lost, and a strange looking electric hunter, there are always interesting questions that Animal Senses tackles.
Smell
The first sense to evolve in the first animals was chemoreception. It means being able to detect chemicals in the animal’s environment.
Touch
The sense of touch is useful to feel physical forces such as bites, changes in temperature, texture, etc.
Sight
Seeing the world is one of the most amazing animal adaptations. Different types of eyes give animals different types of vision, and in some cases, they can be extraordinary. In this episode, we take a look at some of those animals with extraordinary eyes.
Hearing
Sound waves are produced by movement. Animals have evolved organs to detect those sound waves in the air or water to perceive movements in their environment.
Super Senses
Some animals have senses that humans can’t even conceive. With those powers, they can do marvelous things. This episode is about those animals: animals with superpowers.
Humans VS Animals
Humans have sharp senses, which we use to explore our environment. Vibrations in the air, light, and chemicals in our food and in the air give us the information we need to survive.
