In the wild, smell and taste are super senses that give animals a survival edge. From detecting prey to finding food and communicating with others, these senses are essential for creatures like snakes, tapirs, and moray eels, as well as goatfishes, turtles, salmons, koalas, spiders, wolves, and bears. In this episode of Super Senses, we explore how animals use olfactory and gustatory adaptations to navigate their environments and thrive.
Discover how snakes track prey with their forked tongues, how tapirs sniff out plants in dense forests, and how moray eels and goatfishes rely on taste and smell to hunt in the ocean. Learn how turtles and salmons use scent to migrate, how koalas pick the best leaves, and how spiders, wolves, and bears detect food and danger with their powerful noses.
