The phenomenal capabilities of animals have long been the subject of admiration and even some envy of man. Indeed, the creatures that people, by definition, put below themselves on the evolutionary ladder, possess such abilities that the “king of nature” did not even dream of.
As it turned out, they possess telepathy, an incredibly subtle scent, keen hearing and vision. They can heal and foresee future troubles. We have a lot to learn from our smaller brothers!
Amazing hearing and smell of animals
The ability to hear what a person is not able to perceive - these are the phenomenal abilities of animals that attract especially close attention of biologists.
For example, in the past it was believed that if some elephant gets into trouble, he reports this to his brethren telepathically. But, as scientists have found out, elephants are actually capable of making sounds at a length of 5 Hz (infrasounds) that the human ear does not pick up (we start hearing only from 16 Hz). Thanks to this, giants can communicate over long distances and, having caught the call, rush to the rescue.
And frogs have very selective hearing. It turns out that they are able to distinguish only those sounds that make their potential enemies or brothers. However, this is all that the frog needs to hear, since it detects its prey by means of extremely sharp vision.
The sense of smell of animals is also an area of close attention of researchers. A man walking barefoot leaves a hundred-billionth part of an ounce of sweat in his every trace. And you can imagine that any dog is able to smell this smell and identify it. These supernatural abilities of animals, as you probably already know, are successfully used in the detection of people under rubble or lost in the forest.
Pets Can Save Life
Probably any of us can tell about the amazing “sixth” feeling of pets, which tells them the imminent danger that threatens our beloved master.
For example, a situation is noteworthy that vividly depicts the phenomenal abilities of animals that developed with a man from the Czech Republic who worked in an explosive storage facility .
His dog constantly accompanied the owner to the checkpoint. Once the dog, having reached half the way, began to worry and pull the man by the trouser leg back, but the worker was in a hurry and, not paying attention to it, went to the warehouse. The dog rushed home, and soon the worried wife called her husband and said that the dog was nervous, whining and trying to run somewhere. And, as it turned out, he was right - that day there was an explosion in the warehouse that claimed the lives of almost all workers.
And in Novosibirsk, the cat saved the life of the owner-businessman. When he was about to leave the garage, she climbed under the car and did not respond to calls. The man had to climb after her, and thanks to this, he found explosives attached to the bottom of the car.
Do they really have telepathy?
The phenomenal capabilities of animals have long served not only as an object of legends, but also of scientific experiments. These abilities include the gift of telepathy, which most pets have.
True, as noted, between the owner and his pet, a warm confidential relationship should develop. And then it turns out that a cat or dog can feel, for example, your return in another half hour. So, as did the famous English Terrier Pamela Smart, who was expecting her mistress in different places, from whatever side she came back at any time, but 30 minutes before her arrival. To check this, Pamella once decided to get into the window, and what was her delight when the household said that the dog was sitting there, waiting for her for half an hour. Like this!
And the cat from the city of Berkeley (USA, California) meows loudly, hearing a phone call from its owner, absolutely not responding to other phone calls. How does he distinguish one call from another?
Animal telepathy is common
The telepathic abilities of animals forced the French scientists Pierre Duval and Evelin Montrodon to conduct an experiment on a mouse. She was placed in a box with a low partition inside, through which the mouse could climb over with some effort. From time to time, a sensitive current discharge was supplied to each of the halves of the box using a random number generator.
And, surprisingly, the mouse predicted in advance where it was unsafe, and moved to another part of the box. Of course, she was sometimes mistaken, but a thousand times more often she correctly decided how to avoid a shock. As she found out, so far no one can answer.
About the vision of cats
On mouse enemies - cats - you can also explore many of the phenomenal possibilities of animals. What is their unique sight worth! It is known that cats see 6 times better than people. They recognize a familiar person more than 100 meters away and can easily look at the sun, as their pupils perfectly regulate the amount of light entering the eye. If the cat’s pupil is fully open, it is able to distinguish objects under such lighting, which the person perceives as complete darkness.
But the prevailing opinion that cats see in absolute darkness is a myth. Although it appeared not without reason. Scientists have confirmed the unique susceptibility of cat hearing and that it helps the animal to navigate in space when the eyes can no longer see anything.
If the cat is surrounded by absolute darkness and silence, it still will not be helpless. It turns out that she is helped by an elastic mustache, eyebrows and hairs on the back of her paws, which have long been considered vestigial. By the way, having lost them, cats, according to the observation of the American Howard Schulberg, began to suffer from something like a mental disorder.
Amazing animals
And some animals demonstrate completely unexpected abilities, as a chimpanzee named Woshu did it at one time. Researchers taught him the language of the deaf-mute, and he not only actively used the new opportunities for communication, but also taught this to his three brothers. Gorilla Coco, for example, actively used sign language to communicate with the kitten. While playing, she called him “a good soft cat” and showed the behavior of an ordinary pet lover.
A bit about dolphins
Dolphins are also shrouded in many mysteries and legends. These amazing animals can somehow affect children with autism, giving them the joy of communication. And those with epilepsy show a significant decrease in the number of seizures after dolphin therapy. How dolphins do this remains a mystery.
They are generally referred to the most intelligent inhabitants of the sea. American researchers found that dolphins, in addition, have the ability to accurately repeat the movements of their fellow tribesmen, even if they do not see them. Scientists wore special glasses on one dolphin, which closed their eyes, and the rest were forced to make 19 different movements, and the blinded dolphin accurately repeated them. What to attribute the discovered "talent" to - researchers do not yet know.
A little more about the unique features of animals
Why are there dolphins, ordinary garden snails can also amaze with their ability to communicate at a distance. The German researcher Van Rossem in 1933 described how he placed males of a snail in one room on a chessboard , and females in a neighboring room on the same cages. And it is surprising that as soon as he moved one of the females to another cage, a male in the next room slowly crawled to the same position on his board.
Yes, the phenomenal capabilities of animals will probably make for a long time to puzzle the "king of nature"!
