Still Waters Posted February 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Seals are able to judge the size of an object using their whiskers, according to research. The mammals are known for their touch-sensitive whiskers but scientists wanted to know exactly how they size up their prey. Researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University found that the animals move specialised whiskers towards an object to measure it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/21442501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
