Animal senses

Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. We use these senses every day when we work, play, eat, drink. Animals have senses too, and sometimes they are much more powerful than ours.

Animals find their food using their senses. For example, some birds can see a mouse at a distance of 1.5 kilometers. But they don’t always catch the mouse. Mice have very good hearing and it saves them!

Insects sometimes have senses that are different from ours. For example, butterflies don’t taste with their mouths – they taste with their feet. Crickets don’t hear with their ears – they hear with their legs.

Some animals have a special sense – it tells them about the future. Birds, ants and many other animals look for food busily just before bad weather. This helps them because it’s more difficult to find food when the weather is bad.

There are around twenty hundred types of bees in the world. The kinds of bees are up to 0,2 mm high. The largest bees are up to 40 mm high. Honey bees live in families called clusters. In one clusterthere live about twenty thousand bees. In a cluster there is only one queen, hundreds of drones and thousands of work-women.

The queen is the only mother for the cluster. Drones are male bees and they don’t have stings.During the flight a bee makes 350 – 435 wing movements per second. A bee flight is 3 to 10 km. The bees have to visit about 4 mln flowers to gather nectar for making 1 kilo of honey.

Hi, Tanya!

Thanks for your e-mail! How are you? I’m learning irregular verbs. It’s

boring! All my family are at home, they are busy too. My elder sister Ann is playing the piano. She is preparing for her exam. Mum’s in the kitchen. She’s cooking dinner. Now she’s baking a cake. The smell is fantastic. Dad is helping our neighbour. They are fixing the door.

Imagine! Our dog Linda is watching TV! She’s having a good time!

Oh! It’s time to take her for a walk. What are you doing? What are your plans for Sunday? Write back soon.

Love ,

Natasha
