These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around. And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living, or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence. Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality.
