Watch Earth.Org have an online conversation with zoologist, filmmaker and author Jackie Higgins, discussing her book, Sentient: What Animals Reveal About Our Senses.

Sentient dives into the wonderful and unexplored world of how living beings perceive their reality, told through the eyes of the delightful animal creatures we share our planet with. From the stealthy Great Grey Owl to the impossibly strong Peacock Mantis Shrimp and many more fantastic species in between, the ways animals perceive their surroundings can teach us much about how we can do the same, and what we owe to the natural world.
