Which heightened/different senses of other animals would you most like to experience (while still being human)? (lemm.ee)

Of the senses we're familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

They probably can’t see colour very well though. They may have more receptors but they can’t mix those as well as humans so it’s a bit like looking at an 8 bit game with some new colours. Also the resolution of their eyes is abysmal. Birds have one receptor more (UV) and really sharp vision. That’s where it’s at imo.

Yeah but a mantis shrimp's eyes wired up to a human's brain would be neat because our brains are more powerful and therefore could probably make better sense of the inputs than a shrimp's.
