Tactile sense
Tactile sense
Tactile sense includes the obvious sense of
contact with another object, but also incorporates a bird's ability to
sense air flow over its wings and a fish's sensitivity to water
movements. Some creatures, such as the yapok and the star-nosed mole,
have a highly sensitive sense of touch through specialised organs that
they use in situations where eyes are of no use.
Eurasian lynx
Eurasian lynx
The Eurasian lynx is the third largest predator in Europe after the brown bear and grey wolf. It is the largest of the four lynx species and a strict carnivore,
consuming one or two kilograms of meat every day. This extremely
efficient hunter uses fine-tuned stealth and pounce techniques to bring
down animals four times its size, delivering a fatal bite to the neck or
snout of an unsuspecting deer.
During winter, its variably patterned coat is long and dense and large
fur-covered paws help it move through deep snow. The Eurasian lynx is
one of the widest ranging cats and is found in the forests of western Europe, Russia and central Asia.
