A new study has revealed that dogs can detect heat with 'infrared sensor' in their nose, which scientist say can help better understand how predators detect their prey
BUDAPEST - Dogs have a type of infrared sensor in the tip of their nose which enables them to detect minute changes in temperature such as when other animals are nearby, according to new research.
In their study printed in Scientific Reports, a journal published by Nature Research, scientists found that the naked, wet skin surface at the tip of a dog’s nose, which is full of nerve endings, worked as an infrared sensor. “We tested whether we can find an area in the brain that shows higher activity if they are exposed to a warmer than to a colder object,” she said.
