Best Answer

Hearing abilities: better than human (especially at higher frequencies), range of 125Hz - 33kHz (suspected even to 50kHz), Human range: 20Hz - 20kHz

Visual perception: color vision, 340 degree range of vision, poor depth perception, 33 images per second (humans see 22)

Smelling abilities: highly developed, somewhere between that of a human and that of a dog

Tasting abilities: among the animals (like rabbits) with the greatest amounts of taste buds: about 17000 (humans have about 9000, cats 473)

Muzzles sensors: six rows of irregularly aligned vibrissae (whiskers) for navigation in the dark, width measurings, etc.
