These animals and others have evolved to experience aspects of the world that sit beyond the borders of our perception.
And some of their superpowers would be downright awful if ported over to a human: Imagine having taste receptors all over your body, as is the case for a catfish. Still, it’s easy to envy the fantastic abilities of some of these critters.These suckers can “see” blood thanks to heat-sensitive channels in their noses. Fat and juicy vessels emit warmth, and the flying mammals track those temperatures on food sources like tapirs, cattle, and chickens.
