Speaker:  Marie Dacke (Associate Professor of Sensory Biology at the Lund Vision Group, Lund University, Sweden. )

Why does a dog not stop at a traffic light? Does a clam have an eye? Can a dung beetle see a star? Who are the four-eyes of the animal kingdom?

The range of different types of eyes in the animal kingdom is enormous, and also provide their owners with totally different views of the world. Small bees and beetles can see patterns in the sky that are hidden to our visual systems, while they at the same time ignore much of the beauty of the gardens that we strive to create.

In this episode of Science & Cocktails Johannesburg, Marie Dacke  gives us a tour through the World as we do not know it.
