Episode synopsis
How do birds find their way? How does an electric fish perceive its surroundings? What's it like to see images formed from body heat? Supersense uses a new filming style to travel into a world filled with senses as remarkable as any human sixth sense. It flies with geese as they navigate by the sun and stars, swims with a dolphin through a magnetic landscape, discovers a mammal that senses body electricity and a fish that creates a forcefield. It finds animal meteorologists, animals that predict earthquakes, and even animals sensitive to the slightest breeze or the movement of water.
