But every animal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of an immense world. This book welcomes us into a previously unfathomable dimension-the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires (and fireworks), songbirds that can see the Earth's magnetic fields, and brainless jellyfish that nonetheless have complex eyes. We discover that a crocodile's scaly face is as sensitive as a lover's fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, and that even fingernail-sized spiders can make out the craters of the moon. We meet people with unusual senses, from women who can make out extra colors to blind individuals who can navigate using reflected echoes like bats. Yong tells the stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, and also looks ahead at the many mysteries which lie unsolved"--|cProvided by publisher 650 0 Senses and sensation 650 0 Animal behavior 650 0 Physiology 650 0 Neurosciences 650 2 Sensation 650 2 Physiology 650 2 Neurosciences 650 6 Sens et sensations 650 6 Physiologie 650 6 Neurosciences 650 7 Sinnen och förnimmelser|2sao 650 7 Etologi|2sao 650 7 Fysiologi|2sao 650 7 Neurovetenskap|2sao 650 7 Physiology.|2aat
