Tasting with your Feet

Tasting with your Feet is a fascinating insight into the ways that animals use sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and other sensory abilities to make sense of the world.

One of the most interesting aspects of the animal kingdom is the way that animals have developed an incredible array of senses to live day-to-day in the world.

Butterflies taste with their feet, a bumblebee can see a flower's ultraviolet colours, a shark can sense its prey's electric pulses, a bat can use echolocation to fly through a forest at night without hitting anything, a godwit can use the Earth's magnetic field to navigate from Alaska to New Zealand.
