The incredible world of animal perception, and what it can teach us

Ian Sample meets Ed Yong, who recently won 2023’s Royal Society
book prize for An Immense World, which delves into the incredible
world of animal senses. From colours and sounds beyond our
perception, to the weird and wonderful ways that animals grow new
ears and experience smell, Ed explains why understanding how
animals perceive the world can transform our own experience of life
on Earth. Help support our independent journalism at
