SENTIENT: WHAT ANIMALS REVEAL ABOUT OUR SENSES (PB)

The harlequin mantis shrimp can throw a punch that fractures aquarium walls. The ears of the great grey owl hear twenty decibels lower than the human ear. The star-nosed mole catches earthworms at one hundred and twenty milliseconds. Sentient assembles a menagerie from across the globe to understand what it means to be human. Through their eyes, ears, skins, tongues and noses, these creatures reveal clues into how we sense and make sense of the world, and are stirring a revolution in the study of human perception.
