Animals have five senses that humans lack. Dolphins, whales, and bats use echolocation to locate prey and obstacles with sound waves. Sharks, rays, and some fish hunt prey even when they can’t see well. They use electroreception to detect nerve and muscle activity in other animals. Cold-blooded animals like bullfrogs, mosquitoes, and goldfish can see infrared light, which is invisible to humans.
Sea turtles, cows, and butterflies use magnetoreception to figure out where they are by sensing Earth’s magnetic field (blanket of energy around the planet). With polarized light vision, honeybees, crickets, and certain fish can see through a glare from the Sun, which helps them hunt, navigate, and communicate.…
