While it’s natural to assume animals see, hear and have other senses identical to humans, they don’t. Try eating an acorn from a black oak, pin oak or most other oak trees. Acorns are rich in tannins which to humans gives them a powerful, astringent, bitter flavor and they contain a chemical that makes them indigestible. Squirrels, deer and other animals love to feast on acorns and thrive on them. The sense of taste is different in humans and animals.
