Human vision to Animal vision

HUMAN VISION TO ANIMAL VISION

did you know that animals see the world

differently from us take this pigeons

actually have better Vision than humans

crazy right so let's try to see the

world from the animal's eyes let's start

with snakes their way of seeing the

world is totally different from ours

they have special infrared sensitive

receptors in their snouts this allows

them to see the radiated heat of

warm-blooded mammals.

now let's move on

to cows these big guys don't see colors

as well as humans do they can't see the

color red because they don't have the

necessary receptors in their retinas for

that so they only perceive variations of

blue and green also they don't like it

when someone approaches them from behind

they have a near panoramic vision and

the only area they can't see is directly

to the back so if you're ever sneaking

up on a cow make sure you give them a

heads up horses have a blind spot right

in front of their faces because of their

eye placement this means they can't see

things directly in front of them also

they don't see as many colors as we do

just like cows their world is mostly

made up of greens yellows and blues poor

guys

fish eyes have ultraviolet receptors and

a more spherical lens than humans this

gives them an almost 360 degree vision

as for colors they're able to see all

the same ones as we humans do but

because light behaves differently

underwater they have a hard time

Discerning red in its Shades deep sea

fish can easily see in the dark which is

pretty cool

sharks on the other hand can't

distinguish colors at all but they seem

much clearer under the water than we do

birds have some pretty unique ways of

seeing the world unlike humans birds can

see ultraviolet light this helps them

differentiate between males and females

of their own species as well as better

navigate in their surroundings also they

are very good at focusing for example

Falcons and Eagles can focus on a small

Mouse in the field up to a distance of

one mile a pigeon can see all the tiny

details so if you ever need to find a

crack in the pavement just ask a pigeon

and by the way it has a 340 degree field

of vision and generally their vision is

considered twice as good as a human's

there you have it I'm envious of a

pigeon

insects have some weird Vision patterns

too

flies for example have thousands of

little eye receptors that work together

to give them a big picture of what's

going on around them and get this they

see everything in slow-mo

plus they can see ultraviolet light it

helps them with communication

bees have their own problems these guys

can't tell what the color red is to them

it looks like a dark blue how messed up

is that

now rats these little guys can't see red

either but that's not the weirdest part

either of their eyes moves on its own so

they're seeing double like all the time

it's a wonder they don't run into more

walls am I right

cats don't see shades of red or green

but they do see brown yellow and blue

hues like a boss

they got a wide angle view so they can

peep more stuff on the size than we can

there's more though when it's pitch

black outside cats become ninja-like and

can see six times better than us their

pupils adjust to any lighting like magic

now let's talk about dogs these furry

friends can't see red or orange but they

do rocket blue and violet plus they can

differentiate 40 Shades of Gray I mean

it's not 50 but still impressive

On a related note frogs are really picky

eaters they won't even bother with food

that isn't moving they could be

surrounded by a buffet of delicious bugs

but if they don't wiggle frogs won't

even bat an eye and they're not the most

observant creatures either

if something isn't important to them

like a shadow they won't even bother

looking at it

chameleons have eyes that can move

independently of each other so they can

see everything around them without even

turning their heads

they can even see two images at the same

time like a double feature movie one in

front and one behind

pretty impressive right what would you

do if you suddenly got 360 degree Vision

like a chameleon.
