<\/p>\n

mother nature<\/a> it’s just amazing. Just open your eyes and look around us. It doesn’t matter even if we live in a city. The sky, the shapes of the clouds, the mountains and the vegetation… everything is part of a perfect gear. We appreciate it even more when we enter landscapes in which nature predominates. And it is that nature lets its magic be felt both in the geography and in the creatures. Today in Supercurioso we have decided to talk to you about those animals with supersenses, qualities that have been developed to the extreme<\/strong> and that contribute to the survival of the species. Join us to meet these charming animals with super powers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

10 animals with superpowers that you will love to meet<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. The African Elephant and his super touch<\/span><\/h3>\n

We start this tour of the most charming animals with superpowers with the mighty African elephant. The life of this creature revolves around its trunk. It is a muscular, flexible and extraordinarily sensitive organ. The tube contains 100,000 muscles divided into 6 groups and nerves with incredible sensitivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is capable of detecting, together with the pads of the soles of the legs, minimal vibrations that are transmitted through the ground and through the skeleton to reach the inner ear. This has allowed him to develop a infrasound communication system with the herd from distances close to 10 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Salmon and their directional sense<\/span><\/h3>\n

Next among animals with super senses is the curious salmon, noted for its “directional sense.” This animal returns from the ocean to its native river to spawn. To get back, use the most accurate directional sense<\/strong> that we can imagine in the animal kingdom.<\/p>\n

They memorize the magnetic field of their birthplace and return to it thanks to the so-called “olfactory rosette” that is in their head.<\/strong> It has cells that contain magnetite at a microscopic level, but enough to act as a compass<\/strong> guided by the Earth’s magnetic fields. Simply amazing.<\/p>\n

3. The white shark and its sense of smell<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"white

Sharks are dangerous and unpopular creatures. And it is that it is difficult not to feel fear before its agile mobility and before its powerful jaws and super sharp teeth. But, we included them in our list of animals with super senses for a different reason. Specifically, white sharks have a really powerful smell<\/strong> and gifted. So much so that they are capable of detecting a single drop of blood in a hundred liters of water. Unusual!<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. The seal and its ability to locate its prey<\/span><\/h3>\n

Next among the superpowered animals is the lovely seal. He is not noted for a very noticeable development in his sight and hearing. But what makes her special are her whiskers. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It has about eighty whiskers that, together with its thousands of sensory receptors, they are able to detect the trajectory of a fish minutes after it has fled from the area. <\/strong>This undoubtedly gives it an interesting competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

5. The humpback whale and its incredible hearing<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"animals

The next of the animals with superpowers are the humpback whales, which communicate with each other by below the range of human hearing<\/strong>. Their whistles are so deep that we can’t hear them.<\/p>\n

They produce a continuous sound that they are capable of making for more than 24 hours and it travels through the water for hundreds of kilometers.<\/strong> Each animal has its own song that is recognized by those in its group. The vibrations are captured by the jaw and transmitted to the ear, where they are amplified in a bone called the bulla.<\/p>\n

6. The platypus and its reception of electric fields<\/span><\/h3>\n

Few animals are as curious and friendly as the peculiar platypus. This charming creature not only draws attention for its appearance, but also for being the owner of a rare special sense. The platypus is able to detect its prey by a supersense known as “electroreception” or the ability to perceive electric fields.<\/strong> The beak is in charge of detecting them and noticing from which direction they come.<\/p>\n

7. The dolphin and its echolocation<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"dolphin

Dolphins are some of the nicest sea creatures that exist and are also among the animals with superpowers. What distinguishes them in this regard is the echolocation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In fact, so skilled are they, that they can locate their prey, even if it is hidden under the sand or hidden behind soft materials<\/strong>. Some scientific currents have even come to suppose that dolphins are capable of detect pregnancy in humans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. The vampire bat and its sense of smell that detects blood<\/span><\/h3>\n

Next on our list of animals with super senses is the vampire bat. Let us remember that this mammal feeds on blood and a vital part of its survival is its ability to detect it through its smell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In his nose he has developed thermoreceptors that help him perceive the infrared radiation emitted by areas rich in blood <\/strong>on their prey. Without a doubt, it is a quality that has been vital for the survival of the species.<\/p>\n

9. The sea otter and the sensitivity of its whiskers<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Animals

Next among the superpowered animals is the charming sea otter. His sensitivity lies in the whiskers that surround his mouth. When he dives, a kind of skin bags blind his eyes and his nostrils and he must be guided by his whiskers.<\/strong> With them he is able to distinguish any prey just by brushing against it.<\/strong> It has about 124 whiskers when a cat, for example, only has 24.<\/p>\n

10. Spiders, which can “fly”<\/span><\/h3>\n

And we end our tour of animals with super senses by telling you about spiders that, while they can’t fly, almost do! The thing about these unpopular creatures is that they are expert navigators of the electricity of the air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hairs on their legs allow them to detect electric fields and rise thanks to them<\/strong>. They raise their abdomens, stand on tiptoe and release a silk thread in order to be carried away by atmospheric electricity. A super skill!<\/p>\n
