thermoception

Ability to sense heat and cold. This also is thought of as more than one sense. This is not just because of the two hot/cold receptors, but also because there is a completely different type of thermoceptor, in terms of the mechanism for detection, in the brain. These thermoceptors in the brain are used for monitoring internal body temperature

Rugeroni 

Small and furry, found mostly in the wild, but can be kept as a pet as good with kids. Originates from Italy via Spain and Bromley. Often seen sitting scratching its behind wondering if chimps are the toughest of all animals. Is impish when hungover. Has a bite too so be wary - do not tickle under the chin. Friendly and will eat out of your hand. Goes months or even years without procreating.
Wife - "Look - there's a Rugeroni, isn't it cute!"
Husband - "No, how can it be so loud this early?. Pass me the shotgun dear."
