Summary/Abstract: The article entitled Exploration with sight, hearing, and smell in the linguistic picture of people and animals – on the basis of texts from “Kumpel” magazine concerns the manner of describing three dominating senses in the world of fauna such as sight, hearing and smell. The names of these senses determine also the structure of analysis. The senses of taste and touch were not included in the description of behaviour and animals’ predispositions probably due to the anthropocentric perspective. These senses, which can be assumed, have not been examined so much as to be presented in the texts for the general public related to fauna and addressed to the receiver at the age between 7 and 10.
