do animals able to see world in colour?

Answer 1

Yes. Color vision has evolved many times during evolution and most seeing animals have some degree of color vision. Our reptile ancestors had four elementary colors. Two of them where lost by early mammals, probably because they where nocturnal and couldn't use those color receptors that distinguished between blue/green nuances which are very weak at night. Therefore, most mammals have only a red and a green receptor. In primates, one of the green receptors were duplicated and subsequently one of the copies mutated slightly into a blue receptor.

Answer 2

Photons are tiny bundles of pure energy that fly very fast in waves. Photons fly in waves, or, wavelenghts, that can be very far apart, very close together, or somewhere between. We humans have eyes that can see only a narrow range of wavelenghts. We call that narrow range of wavelenghts "Light". We can see the different wavelengths of light by shining light through a prism and revealing the different wavelengths. We see those different wavelengths as colors. When sunlight shines through a mist in the air, we can sometimes see a rainbow of colors that the mist reveals. When there is no light, there is no color. What we "see" . . .when we look at the world and see color. . . is light bouncing off everything and coming into our eyes in different wavelengths, depending mostly on what they bounced off. All animals with vision see a range of photon wavelengths that is sometimes different from the range of other animals. Some flowers, for example, have little patterns and marks on their petals that look attractive to bees, who can see them, but are invisible to human eyes.

Answer 3

colour vision(ability to distinguish blue, red, and green) evolved amongst primates i.e. monkeys,apes and their descendants including humans. so only primates have colour vision. some of other lesser evolved animals are however sensitive to red. apart from them all others see in black and white. some insects like bees are hovewer sensitive to violet and ultraviolet

Answer 4

depends on the animal. Dogs and cats do see in color.

Answer 5

Well, chickens can, I know that. Yes, I said chickens, and they're more intellegent than people give them credit for. I've seen chickens, and helped train them, to distinguish colors, textures, and behaviors.

Answer 6

yes bees see petal colours to distinguish flowa species

Answer 7

Dogs and cats no some birds I think so

Answer 8

i dont know abt other animals but i know dogs see black-n-white only.
