No, depending on what type of animal. Bats, for example, are nocturnal animals but they use echolocation, so it would count as the touch sense, and the smell sense. Other animals, and jungle cats, use scent and sight, mostly to hunt prey and get around. Of course they have the other senses, they just might not be as sharp or useful as their eye sight.

Which animal senses more developed than others?

it really depends on the animal. compared to humans most animal senses are better then us. But senses that are most likely more developed then others is sight and hearing. With cats there sight, hearing and balance. In dogs its only hearing, the sight isn't as good. All animals in the wild have heightened senses to be able to be aware of their predators.


Why do some animals have a heightened sense such as sight or smell?

Mammals need well developed senses for the same reason that all animals need well developed senses. The goal of every organism is to survive and reproduce. Mammals are heterotrophs, so in order to survive, they must eat. And mammals must sense food in order to find and eat it. Also, mammals need some way of detecting danger, such as a predator or a poisonous plant, so well developed senses are needed. Finally, mammals must sense out a mate in order to reproduce.

Is hearing a sloths good?

Sloths have relatively poor hearing compared to other animals. Their auditory capabilities are not well-developed, as they rely more on their sense of sight and smell to navigate their environment. While they can hear sounds, particularly low frequencies, their reliance on other senses means that hearing is not a primary means of communication or awareness for them.


Do sloths have good hearing?

Sloths have relatively poor hearing compared to other animals. Their auditory system is not as developed, which means they may not be as sensitive to sounds as more agile creatures. However, they can still detect certain sounds, primarily those that signal danger. Overall, sloths rely more on their sense of smell and sight than on hearing.
