Animal senses that work as well in water as on land

from The Science Show - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

When we swim or dive, our senses are impaired. Our vision becomes blurry. Our hearing becomes a mess of indistinguishable sound. So how do animals that live both in and out of the sea cope? Well they cope very well! Adaptations allow their senses to work often better underwater than on land. Belinda Smith discovers how seals hear and penguins see so well underwater.
