Abstract
We study animals from an anthropomorphic perspective. The sense organs of animals differ from ours and, of course, also their central nervous system. A bee, with a spectral sensitivity extended in the ultraviolet light, sees a meadow with (for us) white daisies but reflecting UV quite differently. Yet the biotope is familiar to us.
