Reading Aloud 6 Introduction Animals use senses to find food and stay out of danger. Our senses tell us what is happening with our bodies and in the world around us. You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste. But did you know that animals can also have many other senses? Temperature Sense Sensing hot and cold is important for many animals. Some bats and snakes have special heat sensors that can help them find prey. A rattlesnake can “feel” the heat of a mouse’s body from over a foot away.
Time Sense Scientists think humans have the best sense of time, but there’s a chance that other animals sense it, too. For example, dogs and cats sometimes seem to sense when it’s time for their owners to come home.
Using Sounds to “See” Some animals use sounds to “see” the things around them, even deep underwater or in the dark. By making sounds and listening to echoes, these animals can tell where things are. Some bats, dolphins, whales and birds have this special sense.
Conclusion There are many senses beyond hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste. As you explore the world, think about the extra senses that animals, including you, use every day. Expressions 1. Animals use senses利用五感
