| All sirenians are nearly hairless except at the muzzle, where there are thick sensory hairs called vibrissae. |
| They use their vibrissae as sensing organs underwater to monitor the movements of fishes and other prey. |
| Lions also have, like the other big cats, vibrissae that help him to get around when its field of vision is blocked or when he is in the darkness. |
| Rather, they find food via the sensitive touch of their 600 to 700 vibrissae, or whiskers, which have been likened to multifingered hands on the animals' snouts. |
| Another notable mode of sensation in cats are whiskers, or vibrissae. |
| As previously described in the methods section, we examined two patterns of vibrissae movement: rhythmic whisking and fan-like divarication. |
