1. Humans Versus Animals
Avsnitt 1 - Humans Versus Animals, Säsong 1
Humans have sharp senses, used explore the environment. Vibrations in the air, light, and chemicals in food and in the air give the information needed to survive. But some animals have taken those senses and, through evolution, turned them into marvels of biological engineering.
2. Smell

The first sense to evolve in the first animals was chemoreception. It means being able to detect chemicals in the animal's environment. This helps animals find prey and mates, and to sense predators from a distance.
3. Touch

The sense of touch is useful to feel physical forces such as bites, changes in temperature and texture. Some animals have become extra sensitive to feel very faint vibrations, which give them a lot of information about their environment.
4. Sight

Seeing the world is one of the most amazing animal adaptations. Different types of eyes give animals different types of vision, and in some cases they can be extraordinary.
5. Hearing

Sound waves are produced by movement. Animals have evolved organs to detect those sound waves in the air or water to perceive movements in their environment. This can be used to find prey, predators, and mates. These are some of the animals that have mastered the sense of hearing.
