Can Sharks detect their prey without seeing or smelling it?
Yes, because they can use the ampullae of lorenzini. It helps the shark detect its preys magnetic feild.
What are the special traits of a stingray?
Stingrays have a poisonous barb on their tails that they only use in self-defense. Stingrays are generally docile and will swim near people in shallow waters. They also have sensors around their mouth called ampullae of Lorenzini, that help them detect electrical charges from their prey.
Are goblin sharks blind?
No they are not blind. A truly amazing ability! As mentioned earlier, Goblin Sharks have ampullae of Lorenzini covering their snouts, and small eyes. It is believed that their eyes are small enough to detect any possible flicker that may giveaway possible prey, and that they work together with the ampulla to find food.
What are the organs that detect heat called?
Snakes have a tympanum next to their eyes that helps detect infrared waves. This is one way in which the snake makes up for not having ears.

What are the things at the end of a sharks nose?
I belive your question refers to the «ampullae of Lorenzini».These ampullae of Lorenzini are sharks electroreceptor organs, and they are very efficient to detect and find prey, as well as a «biologic GPS device» sharks use for orientation, using the Earth magnetic fied.
What is minute electric field?
Sharks have evolved the greatest sensitivity to electricity of any animal. Tiny pores around the snout called the ampullae of lorenzini detect minute electrical fieldsproduced by other animals in the water.Amit sharma GJU Hissar
What sensory organs do sharks have that allows them to detect movement in the ocean?
Sharks have something called a Lateral Line that is full of nerves that detects movement in the ocean and any changes in density, solubility, etc. in the water. They also have the Ampullae of Lorenzini that does electroreception.
Can sharks sense electromagnetic fields to help find food underwater?
Yes. Using a system known as 'Ampullae of Lorenzini' they can detect flex of muscles of nearby prey. This system is common to all sharks.

Do sharks sense fear?
yes they can. they can sense a high heart rate wich means panic. your heart rate goes up when you panic or you are scared. they sense this with their 6th sense. It is called the ampullae (am-pu-lie) of Lorenzini. Little pours on their nose that detect electric impulses in the water made but hearts and movement. it then travels through jelly-like pours into the nerves and to the brain. then they follow it so... YES THEY CAN SENSE FEAR!!!!yeah i know all that and I'm 11. wow not lying here. AT ALL!
