Our recordings from the brains of star - nosed moles suggest that this latter sensory component provides the most significant aspect of touch perception : an index of the microscopic texture of various surfaces 从我们对星鼻鼹的脑部记录推测，这个部分的感觉器所提供的是触觉感知最重要的层面，也就是不同表面细微质地的指标。

Scanning its environment with a rapid series of touches , a star - nosed mole can find and eat five separate prey items , such as the pieces of earthworm we feed them in the laboratory , in a single second 星鼻鼹藉由快速的连续碰触来扫描周围环境，在短短一秒钟之内，就可以找到并吃掉五个不同的猎物，例如我们在实验室里喂食的蚯蚓断片。

Although less comprehensive , the mammal collection nevertheless has a good variety , including such diverse creatures as australia ' s egg - laying mammal , the echidna , and the world ' s third - largest cat , the jaguar 园内饲养的哺乳类动物，种类虽不及雀鸟全面，但也种类繁多，由针鼹(一种产卵的哺乳类动物)以至属于世界上第三大猫科动物的美洲虎都有。

Just as we scan a visual scene with our eyes , star - nosed moles constantly shift the star to scan tactile scenes as they travel through their tunnels , quickly exploring large areas with the eimer ' s organs of all 22 appendages 正如我们以眼睛扫描视界，星鼻鼹在地道里穿梭时，也持续移动星鼻来扫描触界， ?们用上全部22个附器的艾玛氏器，来快速探测大?围的空间。
