Summary Introduction
To review:
The three examples describing how the sensory abilities of an animal correlate with its habitat and method of finding mates and food.
Introduction:
The sensory abilities of animals help in their survival in many ways. The animals can easily detect food and mates using different sensory stimuli. Furthermore, sensory abilities also give the animals an added advantage to survive in the competitive environment.

Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding. Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing. Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input.
