How do animals see colors differently than humans?
In: Biology
We see colours by having light sensing cells in our retina that are more sensitive to some colours than others. Depending on which colour cells are detecting light and which aren’t, the brain can give a colour to what we’re seeing.
Many animals have different types of colour sensing cells than ours, tuned to different colours and/or different numbers of colours. So they can obtain different colour information than us from what they see.
