Thinking about noticing, sentence 0

Many animals notice danger before we do because their senses are tuned for it: dogs hear high sounds people cannot and smell far better, and hunted animals such as rabbits and deer have eyes on the sides of their heads to see almost all around.

Who acts: Many animals, we, dogs, people, hunted animals, animals · What happens: notice, do, tune, hear, not smell, hunt · To what, where: danger, senses, high sounds, eyes, sides
