In cats they are called "tactile hairs" or vibrissae.
The scientific name for them is 'vibrissae', or 'vibrissa' for just one whisker.
For example, cat's-whisker is cats vibrissae. I guess the same is with mice, rats, lions, etc.
The scientific name for whiskers is vibrissae. I just call it a cat's whisker when talking to everyday people, though.
A whisker can also be called a vibrissa, the plural of which is vibrissae.
Vibrissae
Cats have whisker bumps, also known as vibrissae, because they are sensitive touch receptors that help cats navigate their surroundings and detect changes in their environment.
Vibrissae (singular: vibrissa), or whiskers, are specialized hairs.
The scientific term for nose hair is "vibrissae." These hairs are responsible for filtering out dust, dirt, and other particles from entering the nasal passages.
uhh...some kind of animal that is freakishly deformed?
MAYBE THEY HAVE A LIKENESS
No, a leopard's spots are not an example of vibrissae. Vibrissae are specialized tactile hairs, commonly known as whiskers, that provide sensory information to animals. Leopards' spots, on the other hand, are part of their fur and serve as camouflage, helping them blend into their environment.
