How can a race express an Expanded Sense of Time?

+0
−0

Traditionally we recognize 5 Senses in humans, but in building an alien race for my world I wanted to go beyond that. This is the first in a series of questions. This one is: How can a race express an Expanded Sense of Time? What could the biologic advantages be?

Humans already have a sense of time, biologically, and we also cheat by using light. We can feel the passage of time, but are pretty limited.

I don't know if there are any animals that have a keener sense of time and I am not quite sure how that would be expressed. This isn't about being able to travel back and forth through time, I'm just looking for the biologic sense of time and how that works, and how it can be expanded to build a race more attuned to it.
