Description

You are starting a journey into a world of senses different from your own…

We experience life through five main senses, but even these are better developed in some familiar animals.

Smell your way across an ocean as a salmon does.

See, through the multi-aspected eye of a fly, what a human hand looks like when it is about to strike. Amazing effects reveal the secrets of animal perception.

Episode 2: Seeing Sense

A vulture can spot a carcass from a great distance, the four-eyed fish can see above and below water simultaneously, a fly’s multi-faceted eye sees a very different world than a human eye, while other insects can see into ultra-violet light. And lions have an area on the retina which actually empathises with their prey.
