How animals see

When each one of us looks at the world, they see something that they think is what the world is. Well, here is something that might surprise you... not everyone sees in the same way!

How dogs see:

Dogs see in a very particular way: with their smell. They see colors but have difficulty with seeing red and green. They see odors, as colorful smoke, so when they smell around, they are also seeing if someone passed by there. Dogs can understand the gender, age, stress level and social standing from the urine of other dogs.

How cats/felines see:

Cats and felines have more of a night vision than dogs, so they would see in a more gray scale, but at night, they can capture way more light than humans, which gives them the ability to hunt at night.

How horses see:

Horses also have a color spectrum that varies in all the shades of yellow and blue, but it does not change so much their vision to what we see.

How dragon flies see:

Dragon flies only really see in blue. Their eyes are divided in 30,000 hexagons, but they see as one big picture. They can also see everywhere without moving their head, AND they see things moving slower, so they can understand whether something is a prey or not easily.

How dolphins see:

Dolphins see using mainly echolocation. They make a sound, and when it comes back, they know what is there, how deep it is, and many small details of how it looks.

How snakes see:

Snakes see movement. They can see the movements of the prey very clearly. They also have heat pits, that work even when the snake is blind folded.

How polar bears see:

Polar bears see like humans, but they use their nose to find their prey too. They have sweat glands under their feet to mark a trail. They also smell seals buried into snow, or far away.

Overall we do not know exactly how animals see, but this should give a rough idea of what some animals see.
