Of the senses we’re familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

      That might not be true. They have more receptors for color but tests indicated that they are worse at differentiating colors than humans or other animals. They could only differentiate wavelength of 25 nanometers apart while humans can do it between 1-5 nano meters.

      Also being able to see a wider spectrum might be terrible with all the light we use in electronics.
