Animal Senses: How Other Creatures See, Hear and Smell the World

You walk the same street every morning and assume you have seen it. Meanwhile the dog beside you is reading a whole newspaper of scents, and the bee on the fence post is landing on ultraviolet runways you will never see.

Press play and each chapter drops you inside a living scene, lived through one creature's dominant sense. You follow an owl pinpointing a mouse under snow by sound alone, a shark tasting the faint electricity of a hidden fish, a bat building the night out of echoes, and an elephant listening to distant thunder through its feet. The science of animal perception is woven into unhurried nature writing, so you learn how animals see, hear and smell without ever feeling lectured.

By the final chapter your garden, your street and your next walk feel crowded with worlds you had been blind to. Put on your headphones, step outside, and let the animals show you what you have been missing.
