No, depending on their needs and their genetic makeup; mammal eyes have to type of receptors rod and cone, rod can see black and white very well and is useful for night vision, cone can distinguish colour and is used for colour. our eyes are a mix of rod and cone cells. Nnoctural predators usually have very good night vision but no colour vision (because they have all rod cells in their retina and no cone cells). Monkeys, on the other hand, relied on colour to tell fruit from leaf and thus have colour vision comparable to our own and have a mix of rod and cone. As a side note Bees can’t see red, but they can see ultraviolet, which is what they relied on primarily to find flowers. So there u go, there are no fixed answer, some animals have coloured visions, others don’t, it depends on what they required for survival in their natural habitat.

No. We know that there are two types of cells in our eyes, rods (which is basically the black and white) and cones (which allow us to see colors). Humans have more cones than rods. Ay night time, have you ever noticed how you see almost in black and white? That's because you are using your rods, they are better working in darker light. So, a cat, for example. Cats are nocturnal. Scientists have found that they have more rods in their eyes than cones. THis is so that they can see well at night and hunt. They DO have cones, so they can see color, but probably not as well as humans. As for other animals, it all depends on the ratio of rods and cones foudn in their eyes, but it is a myth that animals only see in black and white!

ALL animals do NOT see EVERYTHING in black and white.
Some animals see almost everything in black and white.
It all depends on the proportion of Rods (which can detect only black & white), and Cones(Which can detect other colours), which are present in the animal--including the human being!

Not all the animals, but some animals have their vision in black & white color. In their eyes retina will not be there thats why they cant view any other color execept black & white.

hues are available in 2 common communities; pigments (which incorporate paint) and lightweight (such as a results of fact the rainbow). there is a few distinction in the combination of hues despite if it somewhat is from pigments or lights fixtures. yet, somewhat, white is the absence of all shade and black is the presence of all hues (lights fixtures). As to sparkling, despite if it somewhat is lights fixtures, it may be invisible.
