All living creatures perceive the world differently. There are animals who don't have eyes and use other senses of perception instead to get information about what is going on around them.

That was so educational! Thank you Quiz Folks. I marvel at nature's ingenuity at the use of all senses. For me eye sight is number one sense. I'm grateful.

The picture before the questions is of a Blind Mole Rat another very strange animal which lives like an ant colony with a 'queen' who produces all the young and the rest of the nest does all the work, foraging and such.
