A cornucopia of wonders - about the transcendent modalities by which other animals perceive. Snakes with their stereo-olfactory tongues, killerflies with their high-speed vision, knifefishes that electrolocate their prey, and so much more. It''s all a fascinating reminder of the humbling truth that most of what happens among life forms on Earth is beyond our ken>
