Comparison of sensory perception in species

Last updated
Name of Species Sight in wave length Hearing in Hz Taste Smell Touch Balance and acceleration Temperature Kinesthetic sense Pain
Amoeba n/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/a
Bat poor visual acuity, none of them is blind. It has even been discovered that some species are able to detect ultraviolet light. [1] Bat calls range from about 12,000 Hz - 160,000 Hz.n/aThey also have a high quality sense of smell.n/an/an/an/an/a
Dog Dogs are dichromat and less sensitive to differences in grey shades than humans and also can detect brightness at about half the accuracy of humans. [2] The frequency range of dog hearing is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, which means that dogs can detect sounds far beyond the upper limit of the human auditory spectrum. [3] n/amay be up to 100 million times greater than a human.n/an/an/an/an/a
Human red~650 nm to violet ~400 nm (or) VIBGYOR 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (or) Audio n/an/an/an/an/an/an/a
Dolphin n/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/a
Shark n/an/an/awith some species able to detect as little as one part per million of blood in seawater. [4] n/an/an/an/an/a
Blue whale n/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/a
