Seals may be able to detect fish up to 100m away using only their whiskers(须),say scientists.Researchers used an artificial fish in their experiment, to create a“trail” in the
water that
a
seal
could detect.They described how a trained seal,named Henry,was able to indicate whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hanke of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock,Germany.He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩)and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,”he explained.“The seal stayed in the box.”Inside the box,the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish,which was actually a rubber fin(鳍)on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion of a real fish.They operated the fin from outside the box,moving it from left to right or from right to left.The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved.
The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin traveled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr Hanke believes that seals may also be able to“analyze”the structure of a trail to“work out”more about its source.He and his colleagues used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances.“They seem to be able to find differences between different shapes,which might even mean they can make out different species of fish.We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,”he said.“The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide,and the second,following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it,so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”

A.dull
B.sensitive
C.sharp
D.poisonous
