We might have big brains and fancy gadgets, but some animals are wired with senses straight out of a sci-fi script. We're ...

One group of sensory organs is the ampullae of Lorenzini, which allows sharks to detect, among other things, the electrical fields created by prey animals. The hammerhead's increased ampullae ...

Sharks can detect the faint electric fields given off by living things using special organs called ampullae of Lorenzini. These jelly-filled pores line their snouts and let them locate hidden prey ...

These fields are detected by special sensory organs called the ampullae of Lorenzini, which are largely concentrated around the shark’s head. In hammerhead sharks, these organs are spread all ...
