Although the sense of taste may not seem important, it is actually any essential to our survival because it enables us to choose the correct choice of food, which is needed for maintenance and basic functions. The article linked below is about fish have taste buds all over their body. This helps them with survival because it allows them to sense their prey/food when they are nearby. It also allows them to taste their food rather than having to smell their way to it. Fish have a significantly higher number of taste buds on their body compared to how many humans have in their mouth. Their taste buds are almost like being able to taste something with your own fingertips. I think the concept of fish having taste buds all around their body is really cool but at the same time kind of weird. I can't imagine humans having taste buds anywhere else on their body besides in the mouth.
