The immense world. How animal senses reveal..UA - Ed Yong [KSIĄŻKA]

This book will help you learn about the abilities of animals that were previously considered impossible or fantastic. You will be amazed at how differently animals see and feel the world of planet Earth. How do animals use their senses? Smell and taste? Touch, vibration, hearing? How do they see? What is their world of colors like? The author helps you to look inside the worlds of animals and discover many secrets. You will meet beetles that are attracted to smoke and sea turtles that can sense the Earth's magnetic fields. You will learn that crocodiles detect the slightest ripples on the surface of the water, and that the eyes of the giant squid have evolved to see whales; that plants hum with soft vibrating songs, and that even simple scallops have sophisticated vision. You will learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their melodies, and what dogs sniff outdoors.Many of the animals whose species are most different from ours live in places that are difficult to access or impassable - muddy rivers, dark caves, open oceans, bottomless depths, and underground spaces. We invite you to dive into this amazing immense world.
