Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Senses also allow animals to see, feel, hear, taste, and smell. Information from these senses is transferred to the brain, allowing reaction and interpretation of external stimuli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (tactile perception).

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensitive to touch The sense of touch is especially used by animals that cannot see very well and may hunt at night or live in dark places. These animals pick up vibrations (shaking movements) in their surroundings. Spiders rely on touch to tell when an insect has landed on their web, or prey is moving nearby.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals use their senses to find out about the world around them. Most have the same five senses as humans, but some have extra senses, such as ECHOLOCATION.
