What animals can sense time?
The researchers showed that agile animals have the most refined ability to see time at high resolutions. Many species using flashing lights as signals, such as fireflies and many deep-sea animals.
Do animals have a sense of time passing?
Evidence suggests that distinct species do indeed experience passing time on different scales. A recent study in Animal Behavior reveals that body mass and metabolic rate determine how animals of different species perceive time. To test this ability, researchers show animals a rapidly flashing light.
What animal has no concept of time?
Dogs
Dogs and sense of time It turns out that while dogs have no concept of time in the way that humans have constructed measurements of it (hours, days, weeks, etc.), they do understand the passing of time in their own unique way!

Do turtles perceive time?
The study which was just published in the international journal Animal Behaviour, showed that small-bodied animals with fast metabolic rates, such as some birds, perceive more information in a unit of time, hence experiencing time more slowly than large bodied animals with slow metabolic rates, such as large turtles.
Do cats have a sense of time?
As with dogs, cats have a limited concept of time: they can learn to distinguish between different time intervals but only when these intervals are limited to a few seconds. Thinking back into the more distant past is probably beyond their abilities.
What animals see in slow motion?

Do dogs have memories?
Dogs have a very short short-term memory. Other animals have long-term memories, such as dolphins, but dogs don’t seem to have a long-term memory that lasts much beyond those two minutes.
