Dolphins have been identified as having a sixth sense

According to the results, both afalines felt the electric discharge. As demonstrated by additional experiments, the animals are capable of sensing DC fields of 2.4-5.5 µV at 1 cm with 90% accuracy. Both afalines were able to respond to electrical impulses. According to the scientists’ assumption, the ability to detect the current contributes to the detection and catching of prey by afalines, as well as helps them navigate using the Earth’s electric field.
