Sniffs, scratches, sights and sounds: Ed Yong on how animals sense the world

<p>Have you ever wondered why your dog takes such a long time to sniff a patch of grass? Or why flies buzz around so sporadically? It&rsquo;s because most of what a creature actually senses is invisible to us. They perceive <em>their </em>world as differently as we perceive our own.</p> <p>Pulitzer Prize winning science writer <a href="https://edyong.me/">Ed Yong</a> wrote a book about this called <em>An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us</em>.</p> <p>Join me for a fun conversation with Ed about the astonishing ways animals sense the world around us.
