Name the animals that are color blind and the ones that can see color as humans do?

Question

Name the animals that are partially color blind

Answer 1

Most mammals have at least limited color differentiation ability, but three-color vision only exists in other primates (monkeys, etc.) Most other animals, like dogs, have dichromatic (two--color) vision; it's difficult to say what the world looks like to them, probably just not as rich in color as it is for us. (I actually had a huge philosophical debate about this on the Wikipedia "Color vision" page which delved into qualia and other nonsense - anyway.)

On the other hand, some birds have much richer and more sophisticated color vision than mammals do, that uses an entirely different photochrome system; some birds are tetrachromatic and can see in UV. This leads to other strange effects, since birds are therefore frequently marked in UV colors that humans simply can't see.

All Flowers have a certain level of colouring pigments called 'anthocyanins' that give them their colour! However, in some flowers, the concentration of these pigments is higher which makes them more brigther and attractive looking! Like you said that flowers are brightly colored to attract insects and you also said that most insects are color blind. This means that those insects which are'nt color blind are attracted to these flowers. Insects like bees have a certain accesibility to color recignition and due to their compound eyes, the flowers look even more atractive! In general, flowers are attractively coloured not only for attracting insects, but for attracting humans too as you may be aware!

bats use sonor to hear. but they are color blind like the old expression blind as a bat. dogs are color blind,cats,rats,mice,cows sheep humans are not color blind,neather are elephauntsNot long ago Dan Aguilar, a faithful reader and member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (a fine organization that does great work in wildlife education and habitat preservation, www.rmef.com ) took me to task for saying that an elk saw the color of my shirt. Strictly speaking, Dan was correct. Elk are colorblind. But what does the term colorblind mean? Human color blindness, as tested for by the DMV when you renew your driver's license, involves nerve fibers in your eye called cones. There are three kinds of cones, each responding to a different primary color: red, green, or blue. The cones in a colorblind person's eyes don't respond to one or more of the primary colors.

Being colorblind by this definition can lead to difficulty at traffic lights or seeing the background color of traffic signs. But that's not what Dan was saying when he used the term colorblind in reference to elk. Elk have no cones in their eyes at all. Most animals don't. Most animals have only rods, the more numerous kinds of light-seeing nerves in our eyes. But the term colorblind is misleading here. It would be more accurate to say these animals don't see color as we do. They somehow see it as we do in black-and-white photographs.

Here's an example. In Montana, ranchers paint a foot or so of the top of their fence posts green if they allow hunting on their land and red or orange if they don't. There is a 50- mile valley north of the park all neatly divided into fenced horse and cattle pastures, which are packed with elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer. There are hundreds of animals in each herd. It's an amazing sight. More amazing still is that you never see these herds in "green'' pastures. No matter how good the grass may be in a pasture marked with green fence posts, the animals don't go there.

The obvious question is how do they know one field from another? Remember, they're colorblind. Supposedly they can't tell one color fence post from another. I drive the road through the valley pretty often, and I have never seen a single deer or elk in a green field. I don't know how the elk and deer figure the system out. I only recognize that they do.

Make no mistake, elk know when the first day of the hunting season is, too. Before opening day they'll gather in the Northern Elk Range on Forest Service land just across the Yellowstone River from the park. Nothing happens. They have a good feed on fresh grass and no one hassles them. But come the first day of hunting season you'll find every one of the elk safely back across the park's border and the hunters standing outside glaring. You can almost hear the elk giving the hunters the raspberry.

How do they know? Brain researchers have mapped the portions of our brain required for language. Elk brains are a lot smaller than ours, but perhaps they have those language centers. I doubt it, but maybe elk can read the hunting regulations and "no trespassing'' signs but are really careful about letting anyone see them doing it. Whatever senses they use, elk know what areas are safe and when. At least some elk do. Let's face it, there are still enough elk being shot out there to keep the hunters coming back year after year, just not on the obvious pasturelands where I see them.

Animals like elk, deer and wolves (also colorblind) sense far more of their worlds than we do or that we give them credit for. The reality is that we only have our eyes to see with and elk eyes aren't the same as ours. Dan was absolutely correct and right in bringing the apparent oversight to my attention, and I thank him for his interest. No elk could have seen my red flannel shirt, faded as it is, as I do.

But I have been around these great critters enough to respect just how much they see in their own way. Speaking of which, I can't help wondering how elk see the camouflage clothing so favored by hunters. Just a question. The first rule of science is to question your assumptions. I can tell you, as any hunter who's been stalked by one will, that "camo" stuff doesn't fool a mountain lion for a second.
