Excellent- More about The Internet of Animals: Discovering the Collective Intelligence of Life on Earth
Animals have a "sixth sense" that humans are only beginning to understand, according to Martin Wikelski's book "The Internet of Animals." By tagging animals with tracking devices and linking their movements to The International Space Station, ICARUS project can change our world and help us better prepare for natural disasters.

Animals possess a unique "sixth sense" that humans are only beginning to grasp. In The Internet of Animals, renowned scientist Martin Wikelski argues that animals possess a unique "sixth sense" that humans are only beginning to grasp. As they tag animals around the world with minuscule tracking devices, they link their movements to The International Space Station, which taps into the 'internet of animals: an astonishing network of information made up of thousands of animals communicating with each other and their environments. Called the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space, or ICARUS, this phenomenal project is poised to change our world.
Down on the ground, Wikelski describes animals' sixth sense firsthand. Farm animals become restless when earthquakes are imminent. Animals on the African plains sense when poachers are on the move. Frigatebirds in South America depart before hurricanes arrive. As Wikelski shows, animal migratory rhythms are not triggered by genes encoded in their DNA, as previously thought, but by elaborate cultures that are long established.
What does this mean for humans? It means that by paying attention to animal cultures, we can learn more about our environments. We can better prepare for natural disasters.
