Summary Introduction
To review:
The three examples describing how the sensory abilities of an animal correlate with its habitat and method of finding mates and food.
Introduction:
The sensory abilities of animals help in their survival in many ways. The animals can easily detect food and mates using different sensory stimuli. Furthermore, sensory abilities also give the animals an added advantage to survive in the competitive environment.

- An experiment with squirrels revealed that they make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed near them. When a red cube, about the same size as an owl is placed there, there seems to be no alarm. Which of the following best explains this reaction? The owl model is the ultimate cause of alarm vocalization behavior. The owl model, but not the red cube, triggers the fixed action pattern of alarm vocalizations. The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000arrow_forwardDance language used by returning forager honeybees to specify loca-tion of food is an example of remarkably complex communication among “simple” animals.

When animals receive a stimulus, or a nerve signal, the signal is sent to their brain. The brain interprets the signal. It then sends messages telling the body how to respond. Elephants receive information through hearing, and touch. Elephants use their trunks to make loud calls to signal the other elephants of danger in their environment. Usually, the older elephants will form a circle around the younger elephants to protect them. eir sense of sight, Se Elephants make low rumbling sounds to communicate with each other. Elephants feel the vibrations of the sound Feel on the ground with their feet. Humans cannot hear these sounds. Most elephants form family groups. The oldest elephant leads other elephants to find water. She uses the direction of her body to signal to other elephants which way they should go.
