Vision

HOW ANIMALS SEE THE WORLD

Did you know that animals perceive the world differently from us? Take pigeons for example, they actually have superior eyesight compared to humans. It's mind-blowing, right? So, let's try to see the world through the eyes of animals. Let's start with snakes. Their way of perceiving the world is completely different from ours. They have special receptors in their snouts that are sensitive to infrared radiation. This allows them to detect the heat emitted by warm-blooded mammals.

Now, let's move on to cows. These large animals do not see colors as well as humans do. They lack the necessary receptors in their retinas to perceive the color red. Instead, they only perceive variations of blue and green. Additionally, they have a wide field of vision, except for directly behind them. So, if you ever approach a cow from behind, make sure to give them a heads up.

Horses have a blind spot right in front of their faces due to the placement of their eyes. As a result, they cannot see objects directly in front of them. They also do not perceive as many colors as humans do. Similar to cows, their world is mostly composed of greens, yellows, and blues.

Fish have unique eyes as well. They have ultraviolet receptors and a more spherical lens compared to humans. This gives them an almost 360-degree vision. They can perceive the same colors as humans, but due to the way light behaves underwater, they struggle to distinguish shades of red. Deep sea fish, however, have adapted to see in the dark, which is quite fascinating.

Sharks, on the other hand, cannot distinguish colors at all. Nevertheless, they have excellent visibility underwater compared to humans. Birds have their own set of remarkable visual abilities. Unlike humans, birds can see ultraviolet light, which helps them differentiate between males and females of their own species and navigate their surroundings. They are also incredibly focused. Falcons and eagles, for instance, can spot a small mouse in a field from a distance of one mile. Pigeons have remarkable attention to detail, and if you ever need to find a crack in the pavement, just ask a pigeon. They have a 340-degree field of vision, which is considered twice as good as a human's.

Insects, too, have fascinating visual patterns. Flies, for example, have thousands of tiny eye receptors that work together to provide them with a comprehensive view of their surroundings.Communication bees face their own challenges. These insects cannot perceive the color red accurately; to them, it appears as a dark blue. How confusing is that? Now, let's talk about rats. These small creatures also cannot see the color red, but here's the weirdest part: each of their eyes moves independently, resulting in a constant double vision. It's a wonder they don't run into walls more often, don't you think? On the other hand, cats don't perceive shades of red or green, but they have excellent vision for brown, yellow, and blue hues. They have a wide field of view, allowing them to see more things on the sides than we can. But that's not all. When it's completely dark outside, cats become incredibly stealthy and can see six times better than humans. Their pupils adjust to any lighting conditions like magic. Now, let's move on to dogs. These furry companions cannot see the colors red or orange, but they can distinguish between shades of blue and violet. Additionally, they have the ability to differentiate between 40 different shades of gray, which is quite impressive, although not quite 50. On a related note, frogs are extremely picky eaters. They won't even bother with food that isn't in motion. They could be surrounded by a buffet of delicious bugs, but if those bugs aren't wiggling, frogs won't even give them a second glance. Furthermore, frogs are not the most observant creatures. If something is not important to them, such as a shadow, they won't bother looking at it. Chameleons possess eyes that can move independently of each other, allowing them to see everything around them without turning their heads. They can even perceive two images simultaneously, like watching a double feature movie, with one image in front and one behind. It's quite remarkable, don't you think? What would you do if you suddenly acquired 360-degree vision like a chameleon? Share your thoughts in the comments below. That's all for today.
