 ===== Visual ===== ===== Visual =====
 The visible spectrum for xtauh mostly overlaps with that of humans, although the xtauh eye is able to perceive some near-infrared wavelengths that the human eye cannot. Xtauh vision is, however, much more sensitive to low-light conditions due to the presence of a //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum|tapetum lucidum]]// in the eye. Xtauh have forward-facing eyes with binocular vision, and therefore capable of depth perception. The visible spectrum for xtauh mostly overlaps with that of humans, although the xtauh eye is able to perceive some near-infrared wavelengths that the human eye cannot.

-Xtauh hear through the long, [[xtauh:body#Olenor|antennae]] curving to either side of their heads, beginning above the eyes. The antennae pick up sounds in a range that is downshifted to lower frequencies compared to human hearing; they can hear noises of a lower pitch than humans can, but are insensitive to a certain range of high-pitched noises. In water, the sensitivity of the antennae is much greater.+Xtauh hear through the long, [[xtauh:body#olenor|antennae]] curving to either side of their heads, beginning above the eyes.
