Amazing Animal Senses Many animals can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch- but they do it in a different way from humans. Imagine you have to walk on your dinner to taste it! Well, a butterfly does-it tastes with its feet! People use the ends of their fingers to touch. Seals use their whiskers. Their sense of touch is amazing. They can feel fish through the water 180 meters (590 feet) away. Spiders don't have ears. They hear using hundreds of small hairs on their legs. We can smell delicious food in front of a restaurant. But we can't smell food that is in a different town! Bears have a fantastic sense of smell. They can smell things that are 32 kilometers (20 miles) away. Chameleons can see very well-look at their eyes! One eye looks up, and the other eye looks down. They can see all around them. ​
