"A butterfly tastes with its feet, a bumblebee can see a flowers ultraviolet colours, a shark can sense its preys electric pulses, a bat can use echolocation to fly through a forest at night without hitting anything, and a godwit can use the Earths magnetic field to navigate from Alaska to New Zealand. Tasting With Your Feet explores these myriad and often bizarre ways that animals use sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and the ability to sense movement to go about their everyday lives"--Back cover.
