Some animals can detect sounds that we can’t hear. The greater wax moth can hear sounds nearly fifteen times higher-pitched than sounds humans can hear. With such sensitive hearing, the moth is better able to avoid predators. ]]> 2023-04-03 12:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542144751 reedbishop31 https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542428517 Animals can feel things like us. They can feel fur, rough things, soft things, and more! Some animals have such a strong sense of touch that they can detect vibrations. For example, spiders have special structures on their legs and bodies. These tiny slits and hairlike spines pick up vibrations on the spider’s web or other surfaces. ]]> 2023-04-03 15:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542428517 scarlettstahnke31 https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542429566

For example, the Catfish can have up to 175,000 taste buds, depending on how big they get to be. The taste buds do not appear in the catfish’s mouth but instead all over its body. Most of those taste buds are located in the catfish’s whiskers, which are near its mouth. ]]> 2023-04-03 15:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542443521 isaacrubanenko31 https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542446956 Animals need sight because it helps creatures avoid crashing into things. Eyes with light-sensitive nerves that transmit visual information to the brain. Some animals have very poor eyesight. They must rely on other senses to sense their surroundings. Bats do not have eyesight so instead they use echolocation. They have tiny eyes, so they cannot see their prey well. Instead, they send out a series of shrill squeals. These sounds bounce off objects. When the sound returns to the bats’ ears, the bats interpret the sound. In this way, the bat can tell the size and distance of an object. It can also tell whether an object is moving or still.  ]]> 2023-04-03 16:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542446956 rahinipradeep31 https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542459662        Bears have one of the most sensitive smell. Because of this, bears can smell prey from miles away. Because of this keen sense of smell, bears are able to locate food even though it’s far away. 

       Snakes smell with their tongues. The tongue picks up scent particles nearby. The snake uses organs inside its mouth to detect the scents. Snakes depend on there sense because they don't have good eye sight or hearing. Their sense of smell is how they find their food.

This is a behavior that is automatic and done without thought. For example, if something is moving quickly toward an animal’s eye, the animal may close its eye or lower its head in response without even thinking about it. A stimulus may cause a voluntary response. Think about an animal that senses a nearby predator. It may decide to run. But it could decide to hide instead. ]]> 2023-04-03 16:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2542474976 isaacrubanenko31 https://padlet.com/reedbishop31/ot6uti3acxxhctv7/wish/2543876072 Any Questions?
