do animals really have sixth sence?

Question

I MEAN SENSE

Answer 1

correction : sixth sense

Answer 2

Actually we have 10 senses. I don't know why we think we only have 5 and the sixth is special.

1. Smell 2. Sight 3. Hearing 4. Touch 5. Pain 6. Pressure (more intense than just touch) 7. Hot 8. Cold 9. Balance and 10).
Taste. All of these senses have nerve receptors alerting the brain of a distinct separate stimulus.

Answer 3

Think so--they are often a good indicator of impending changes in the weather. They have sense perceptions outside of our limited range--the most commonly example probably being the dog whistle. Saw a program in england about a dog who always knew when her master was coming home, and would go sit by the front door about 20 minutes before her arrival. They changed the times for the experiment, so it looked pretty genuine.

Answer 4

I'm not sure you can call it a sixth sense, but they hear frequencies we don't. I would say they have some sort of intuition. Coming from way out in left field, I'd say since they don't have the weight of everyday life on them, (bills, kids, jobs, traffic, etc) they are more in tune with nature and can sense things we don't.

Answer 5

Not so much a sixth sense, just different levels of using certain senses. (Dogs have better smelling than people, some birds see in a UV spectrum, ect.)

So, its not so much that they have a 'sixth sense' per say, but rather that they have more proficient senses than humans in certain areas.

Answer 6

many people say that animals can sense impending disasters.while it is uncertain whether animals have a third eye or a sixth sense, we need to look more carefully at the astonishing feats of which many of our animal friends are capable.
among the millions of animals that populate our planet,there is a wide range of sensory perception . the night is almost impenetrable for humans,but the owl possesses specially equipped organs of sight which enable it to see equally well in darkness as in broad daylight. a rattlesnake can hunt for food during the night without any problems,as this reptile has heat-seeking sensory organs which register the heat given off by its prey.
the ears of dogs and cats are receptive to ultrasound-vibrtions above 20 kilohertz-enabling them to detect enemies early and track down prey successfully.
most animals,especially those mammals that are active during the night,have whiskers and sensory hairs which react with great sensitivity to touch and vibrations. a bird's feathers function like whiskers to convey information about air currents to the brain, which then directs the animal's flight movements accordingly. some creatures can detect changes in air pressure- for example,the freshwater catfish-which explains their agitation before a thunderstorm.
scientific studies have shown that carrier pigeons and other migratory birds are capable of registering fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field, which they use to judge their position.even honey bees use a magnetic sensor when they build their hives,for new honeycombs are oriented the same way as existing ones.
other studies show that,during their seasonal walks,penguins orientate themselves by the position of the stars in the night sky.what is certain is that each species has its own range of perception and uses the information supplied by its senses according to its individual needs and environment.

Answer 7

they have a more acute sense of nature,
sort of like sixth sense. they can feel the force surrounding them, lol.

Answer 8

well maybe.... but in some cases whats sixth sense for us may not be so for them...atleast for eg. like hearing a dog's whistle n all... that's because their ears r built to hear sounds in that frequency range// the rest i dunno maybe they also do get intuitions like humans do.

Answer 9

If they do, it doesn't help them cross roads or maybe it's only roadkill that has 5 senses.

Answer 10

yes. especially cats.
