The World Through the Eyes of Animals

Did you know that animals see the world differently from us? Pigeons actually have better vision than humans. Cows can’t see the color red because they don’t have the necessary receptors in their retinas for that. Horses have a blind spot right in front of their faces because of their eye placement. Fish eyes have ultraviolet receptors and a more spherical lens than humans.

How do people know what animals’ vision are like?

[ZKhweziN]

I'm supposed to sleep, but here I am watching the world through animals' eyes.

I am fascinated by birds' color vision. They have four types of color cones, whereas humans have three. That means they can see a lot more color variations than we can. Also, a few years back on Science Friday they reported that birds see color in three dimensions. Whereas humans see color as solid and flat, birds might see objects as having one color overlayed on another. In other words, they see depth in color. This might begin to explain the mystery as to why birds can't see glass.

Who is here for cat vision like me😻😻😹😹

[jonp]

What if the colours human can see are not actually the real colors? 🤔

[bickure]

Let’s be honest no one knows what animals can see just speculations

[RealLifechip]

The eyes of cats and dogs are often beautiful 😍

One of the prevailing theories as to why so many mammal species have such poor color vision is that for the tens of millions of years that dinosaurs dominated, most mammal species were small nocturnal animals and their eyes adapted to seeing low light, evolving more rods (which gather more light) than cones (which impart color vision). When the dinosaurs underwent their mass extinction, and mammals began to spread out into the newly vacated ecological niches, they were "stuck" with that more limited color vision (though superior night vision), unless they went on to re-evolve better color vision. It's speculated primates did that in order to better differentiate what kinds of fruits and other things were safe to eat, which was something more useful for strongly diurnal omnivores.

Another thing about cats is that the reflective surface in their eyes is behind the retina, so light entering the eye gets two passes, effectively making the world twice as bright for them.

I think there is a great deal of interpretation of sight that occurs in the brain. Consider our blind spot. We don't notice it because our brains "fills in" the spot. Various animals have abilities related to their vision and their brains make sense of the input.

If I had chameleons vision, I'd be the best midfielder of all time

[n-vro]

Respect for person who tried animals eyes

[bluemagicstick]

Explains a lot with cats and how they find everything so interesting. They are literally in their own world.

[KevinMcgaw]

Nuff respect to the person who live all these different animals life to tell us all how they see the world

[NorseGraphic]

Would be cool to have infrared receptors in the retina. Seeing heat is very useful.

[Kado]

i love that you try to make the world through animal eyes but yet i still see it how a human would see it through a simulation wich is supposed to be the animal

[Pssybart]

The idea that T.Rex could only see moving objects in Jurassic Park is actually explained in the novel as a trait dinosaurs got from their frog DNA.

[chudotat]

Thank you so much. You've made me upet about my cat's vision of the world. No wonder she prefers to sleep most of the time

[dashien]

Cows blue and green vision seems so soothing

[flashg]

I wonder how popular a myth it is that cats and dogs are completely colour-blind.

Two things I noticed you don't mention:
* Depth perception. Many animals have their eyes on the sides of their heads; while this widens their field of vision compared with humans it comes at the expense of this.
* Mantis shrimps. These have 12 types of cone cells, so effectively a 12-dimensional colour space (compared with our 3-dimensional colour space). Apparently some kinds have as many as 16, and what's more they can see the polarisation of light.
