Animal vs. Human: Sensory and Navigational Abilities Compared

The video explores the navigation abilities of mice and humans, highlighting their use of visual cues and spatial memory. It demonstrates that both species use similar mental processes, with the hippocampus playing a key role. The video also examines the extraordinary vision of eagles, explaining how their large eyes and dual foveas provide superior visual acuity compared to humans.
