From vision, pain, heat, touch, hearing, echo to electricity and magnetism...
Traveling to every corner of the world, from the latest and most comprehensive animal sensory research results, we can discover another world beyond our perception.
Living things use their senses to shape their surrounding environment, but they are inevitably enclosed in their own sensory bubbles. Human beings used to think that the world is what we see: colorful rainbows, repeated birdsong, waves of waves, etc. But in fact, what animals perceive may be quite different from humans. For example, dogs’ vision is dimmer than humans, bats can hear ultrasound, bees can see bullseye patterns on sunflowers... and we can also hear leafhoppers through microphones. Sing a song, or imagine the sensitive skin of an alligator, like fingertips growing out of the skin.
Understanding the senses of animals can help us see more diverse and real aspects of the world, and help us learn to look at nature with respect and humility. When we know that blue whales use low-frequency infrasound wavelengths to communicate over distance, humans can realize that the sonar system commonly used in the ocean will affect their survival; or that light pollution from artificial light sources will make darkness disappear, threatening Wildlife senses. Human beings need to have more empathy and understanding of the disappearing silence and darkness in order to coexist more harmoniously with the ecology.
This book will take you into the dazzling world of animal senses, from the five senses that we are familiar with, to unfamiliar senses such as the echo system, magnetism, and electricity, expanding your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and even fingers. Will explore those sensory landscapes that are quietly disappearing. Bring your curiosity now and experience the world beyond your five senses!
