The Hidden Depths of Animal Perception
For us humans, our overall sensory capabilities - the scope of our sense of smell, our sight, our hearing, and touch - feels all-encompassing, like there\u2019s nothing more that we could possibly conceive of that would change how we experience the world around us.\n\nBut that\u2019s dead wrong. And this is an illusion that we share with every animal and insect in the world.\n\nBut what we might humans lack in one area of perception, another animal or insect might excel.\n\nSo, what are we missing?\n\nEd Yond, science journalist and author of \u2018An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us\u2019 joins Jonathan to discuss.\n\nDr. Ruth Freeman, Director of Strategy and Communications at Science Foundation Ireland & Dr. Shane Bergin, Physicist and Assistant Professor in Science Education at UCD also joined Jonathan for this week's episode of Newsround.
