What animals see

Have you ever wondered what animals and insects see?

A majority of these groups have visions bound by one color or can only see a certain range of colors. Humans are pretty lucky to be able to see the full range of the visible spectra because the photo receptors in our eyes contain around 6 million cones. These cones make it possible for us to see colors. In the case of animals, however, what they can see varies with the number of cones and rods available in their retinas.

Due to survival needs, animals are found to have more rods than codes, thus enabling them to see better in the dark. These rods are what make night vision possible for both humans and animals; unfortunately, humans don’t rely on this biological feature enough.

So back to the topic at hand: How big is the difference in sight between humans and animals?

Their sight is very different from humans as a majority of the creatures absorb light through their eyes in the ultraviolet wavelength and/or infrared wavelength

These are the two extremes in the vision spectra and often times, human exposure to these kinds of lights can have detrimental effects. What humans can only see is everything within the visible spectra, as seen in the image below.

A majority of animals awake in daytime, except for some exceptions, often see the world through ultra violet vision like in the second image, or none at all, as in the last image

It's mostly insects that see under ultraviolet vision and one can honestly understand why much of these insects find attraction and collect food from flowers and plants. like the butterflies and bees. Because these are what they see

As for those that can only see in the infrared region, a common feeding pattern was observed in them. They all consume blood because infrared vision is reliant on body heat. Thus examples of animals that can see in this region are reptiles (mostly snakes), mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects

As for the other unmentioned species, a majority of them can only see a limited range of colors and/or at full spectra as well but is enhanced, like that for birds. but as for the mammalian species (besides a few exceptions) their vision will be limited at least two colors but those colors will come off as pastels, and in the worst case, they go colorblind.

That's it for my nerd talk. Thank you for reading through this release of my views ^^
