I found this picture while I was exploring the Tumblr of an artist I follow.
It didn't come with any description of the photo just a comment: "I want to poke it."
It got me thinking though of how poor our senses are. I mean, humans are only so advanced because of their intelligence. Think about it.. What defenses do we have? Sharp teeth or claws? Armoured skin or scales? Speed?
Then simply compare our pets. They have teeth and claws and see the world through a different set of senses. Eye sight that functions on minimal light, hyper hearing and amazing senses of smell that, especially for those of us with seasonal allergies, will never be able to compare to.
I mean, scientists say cats and dogs are colour blind. Who's to say they just see colours we can't?
What else looks awesome that we're missing? :3
