A WORLD SEEN THROUGH ANIMAL EYES
Did you know that animals have distinct perspectives from humans? For example, pigeons have greater vision than people. Crazy, huh Therefore, let's attempt to view the world through the eyes of animals. Let's start with snakes, whose perspective on the world is very different from ours. Snakes have unique infrared sensitive receptors in their snouts, which enable them to see the radiated heat of warm-blooded mammals. Next, let's consider cows. These large animals can't see red because they lack the retinal receptors required for it, so they can only distinguish shades of blue and green. They also don't like it when people approach them from behind because they have near panoramic vision and the only part of the body they can't see is directly behind them, so if you're ever sneaking up on a cow, make sure you give them a heads-up. Horses, like cows, have a blind zone in front of their faces where their eyes are situated, making it impossible for them to perceive items that are immediately in front of them. Most of the colors in their world are green, yellow, and blue. Fish eyes feature ultraviolet receptors and a larger spherical lens than human eyes, which provides them almost 360-degree vision. However, because light interacts differently underwater, they struggle to distinguish between colors.
