Infrared Waves
- Humans may not be able to see infrared
light, but did you know that snakes in the pit
viper family, like rattlesnakes, have sensory
"pits", which are used to image infrared light?
This allows the snake to detect warm blooded
animals, even in dark burrows! Snakes with 2
sensory pits are even thought to have some depth
perception in the infrared! (Thanks to NASA's
Infrared Processing and Analysis Center for help
with the text in this section.) - no reference
or link to Michael Moore - but he might be
taking some heat for his new film. -
Be cool
