5. Raccoons
Racoons have fine hairs around each finger and use their sense of touch to build up a 3D mental map of their surroundings to hunt for food at night. It’s as complex as human sight- You could say they see with their hands!
6. Cats
Cats have excellent night vision and even have the ability to see light six times lower than humans need to see.
7. Squirrels
Squirrels are known to make pretentious buries to deceive other animals into thinking they have stored their food there. This intelligent trick allows squirrels to bury food in a safer location.
8. Otters

9. Whales
Whales warn others of danger, by slapping the surface of the water with their tails and fins which can be heard hundreds of metres away.
10. Rats
