What if animals see it in other ways?

Animals do see in different colors.
And our eyes do NOT see. Its just the way our brains interpret them.

Duh. It is that way! Our eyes don't see anything, they just take in light then our brains interpret it to make sense to our conscious thought. For instance, the sky really isn't blue. It's multicolored, just like everything else in the world, but blue is the dominant color; so rather than having to figure out which color is where and coming from what, our brains just sums it up to look like a blue sky. Pigeons see the world only in shades of green, and in slow motion, as do most birds. That's why they have such great reflexes.
Try to think of your eyes more like computer screens, and you're just a little guy sitting inside your head, watching these screens. That's how our eyes work.

Animals generally DO see the world in other ways. Many don't have the same range of vision as we do; some can see into the infra-red or ultra-violet ranges. There is always the possibility that what you see as red, what *I* see as red, and what a bird or an insect sees as red are completely different things, but as long as we all know what we're looking for, the difference (if any) while interesting, is strictly academic.

Definitely a product of our eyes! All of us see things with our very own set of eyes, we see things the way we want to see them, that's why we differ so much in opinions and views (and thus the misunderstandings). Example - Some people are seem as 'coloured' by some. The same 'coloured' people are seen by some as just human beings.

Most animals do see in different ways than we do. As long as we can agree on what color is what, it is irrelevant whether we see them the same way. Like your red may be my yellow, but it doesn't matter because I may have been told that all my life what I see is red, even though if someone jumped into my body it would look like yellow to them, this of course is not possible, so it is irrelevant.

most animals do see in black and white...but thats because there eyes dont have color receptors like ours. The reason we see color is not only because of our eyes but because light bounces of things. Let me explain....We know that sun light has the full spectrum of visible light....Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet.When light bounces of a leaf(lets say) we seen the color green. The reason why this happens is because the green spectrum of the sun light is reflected back to us while all the other colors are absorbed by the leaf.There for...dont worry....our wonderfull universe does have color.

This is actually partially true the colors we see are simply reflections of visible light bouncing off of objects. There are many other forms of light such as ultra-violet and infra red. About the animal thing some falcons can see Infrared lights!

Actually it is. Colors are how our eyes interpret them if our eyes can detect that part of the spectrum. If there is no light we don't see them at all. And many species of animals don't see all the same colors we do. It all depends on whose eyes are viewing.

Nothing is processed in your eyes; nonetheless, the world is a production of your brain. The brain has a specific tempo-spacial organization than can be matched to "facts" of the external world. In other words, we interpret the external simulations based on the way they could be imaged on the totipotent "page" of our brain.

actually, scientifically, the colors are just a product of our eyes. the light hits an object a certain way and one color is absorbed( the color we see) and the rest are reflected. or maybe its vise versa. anyway, we only see the colors we see because of the differnet colored light in the world.

Not all animals see in the same spectrum that humans do. Further, the organizing principle is the mind, an inhabitant of the brain.
