Importance of Responses to Stimuli in Other Animals

  • Animals have two types of vision, stereoscopic vision and monocular vision, and different hearing frequency ranges for each animal.
  • Stereoscopic vision is when both eyes are in front of the head and both eyes are used to see an object.
  • Monocular vision is when only one eye is used to see an object.
  • Stereoscopic vision provides a smaller field of vision but can estimate the position and distance of an object more accurately.
  • Monocular vision provides a wider field of vision but inaccurate distance and position estimates.
  • Examples of animals with stereoscopic vision include tigers, eagles, and bears.
  • Examples of animals with monocular vision include deer, goats, and cows.
  • The stereophonic hearing in animals uses both sides of the ear and helps determine the direction and location of sound.
  • Differences between stereoscopic and monocular vision include both eyes being in front of the head in stereoscopic vision and only one eye being used in monocular vision.
  • Dogs have a hearing frequency range of 67 to 45000Hz
  • Mice have a hearing frequency range of 200 to 76000 Hz
  • Dolphin have a hearing frequency range of 150 to 150000 Hz
  • Bat have a hearing frequency range of 2000 to 1110000 Hz
  • Hedgehogs have sharp and strong feathers on the body and will release thorns towards the enemies a defence system
  • The electrical organs in fish produce an electric field that can detect the direction of a nearby object or organism
  • Male beetles use antennae to detect pheromones produced by female beetles to find breeding mate
  • Organ Jacobson is located in the palate of the snake's mouth which can detect the odor that has accumulated on the tongue and in turn detect enemies
  • The lateral lines on the body of the fish can detect changes in water pressures, detect prey and aid movement
