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.

We have one of the worst vision in animal world

[@curiousmind_]

​@@Animaux01978 first we're not animals and second no it's not the worst we can see all colors for instance

[@Hibernicus1968]

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.

[@amaramachupa6422]

That's fascinating

[@pikestance4219]

I noticed a pattern of a lack of red. I guess there is something with the color that hinders night vision???

[@pikestance4219]

@@russellbrown7024 lol, ok captain obvious

[@marymccluer1630]

It seems fruit eaters have better color vision, so they can distinguish ripe from unripe fruit. Primates, including humans, are such fruit eaters.

[@marymccluer1630]

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.

[@elultimo102]

There are rare women with tetra-chromatic vision, who can see millions of colors. An artist showed her paintings of flowers, looking like the UV depictions beyond normal vision. She said, "I paint what I see."

[@onemore7632]

[@Mandrak789]

but they are, we are seeing full spectrum in certain light frequency range, there's no gaps in it; however some animals can see frequencies out of our reach, e.g. ultraviolet

[@abhay4147]

​@@Mandrak789The light spectrum is made by humans, that means we categorized that spectrum in which *humans* can distinguish colors. There are are many more colors in other spectrums that we can't see. Like we are able to see shades of 3 distinct colors (RGB and some of yellow), Butterflies can see 5. This is taken further by the Shrimp Mantis which has 16 color receptors

[@adamb89]

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.

[@Kado1609]

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

[@flash24g]

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.

[@marymccluer1630]

It seems in recent years scientists have come to believe dogs and cats do see some colors, but cannot see red. An example sometimes given is the orange-striped tiger. The orange stripes look green to the tiger's prey, so they just think it's grass. For humans, the tiger is pretty obvious. Tiger prey must hear or smell the tiger to realize it is near.

[@OsirusHandle]

They will absolutely see different colours and interpret red as something, but it wont be that noticable. Our vision covers a spectrum of combinations of RBG, whereas they only have BG: But BG will still intercept some red. Just not much and with difficulty. We can see orange wavelengths of light for example, but only because it overlaps with the red and green cones a bit. So RGB lights can trick you into seeing orange by stimulating the red and green sensors the same amount as they would be by orange light.

[@OsirusHandle]

So i looked it up for humans: Our green receptor stops entirely at about 650 nm, which is actually red. So green cones CAN detect red, and so cats and dogs should be able to see some red, but it will be MUCH dimmer: 615nm which would be reddish orange would be 10% as bright as an equal source of green, and 630nm maybe 3% as bright.

[@abdoubelaid8890]

سبحان الله العظيم ❤

[@timestimesx7535]

I like how fish get to see red unlike dogs and cats though they never encounter it.

[@brobbus0-dl6vl]

The most impressive feature about cat's eyes is not that their pupil expand (after all, ours do too even though much less than theirs). It's that, unlike us, they can control them and decide when to expand them and do it instantly. We can't, our pupils simply expand and contract based on light conditions, and they take some time to do it too.

[@chudotat]

Flies only see in "slow-motion" relative to human vision. They don't actually perceive time as being "slowed down," no more than we perceive time to be "sped up." From the fly's perspective, time passes normally and the rest of us are just really slow at moving.

@@sixstanger00 i said 30 fps vs 60 fps

[@sixstanger00]

@@OsirusHandle No, that's not how a fly's perception works. The fly isn't "processing more information," it's just processing the same information at a much slower rate compared to a human. But the fly doesn't perceive anything as "slow." From it's frame of reference, everything is moving at normal speed and humans seem to just move painfully slow. Likewise, from the human's frame of reference, everything seems to be moving at "normal speed," and the fly just moves exceptionally fast.

[@AhmedSheikh]

Humans have made educated inferences about how animals see the world by combining several methods and lines of research. Here are some ways through which we've gleaned insights into the visual world of animals: 1. **Anatomy and Histology**: Dissecting and examining the eyes of animals gives insight into their visual capabilities. The number and types of photoreceptor cells (like rods and cones in humans) can suggest what kind of light the animal can detect and how well. 2. **Behavioral Experiments**: Scientists can train animals to respond to visual cues. For example, bees can be trained to associate certain colors or patterns with food. By altering these cues, researchers can deduce what colors or patterns bees can distinguish. 3. **Molecular and Genetic Methods**: Studying the genes responsible for vision can reveal what wavelengths an animal can perceive. For instance, the opsins in photoreceptor cells are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light. 4. **Electrophysiological Techniques**: Electrodes can be placed in an animal's visual system (like the retina or visual cortex) to record electrical responses to visual stimuli. This can reveal what kind of light stimuli the animal is sensitive to. 5. **Comparative Studies**: Comparing the eyes of animals who live in similar environments or have similar lifestyles can give clues about their visual capabilities. 6. **Physical and Optical Models**: Scientists can use models to simulate how light enters the animal's eye and is processed, giving a representation of what their world might look like. 7. **Direct Imaging**: For some species, specially designed cameras can mimic the visual perspective of the animal. While this doesn't perfectly capture the animal's subjective experience, it can give a hint of their visual field and focus. While these methods provide a lot of information about the visual capabilities of animals, it's crucial to remember that the actual "experience" of seeing as an animal is something humans can't fully grasp. We can only make educated approximations about their perceptual world.
