do turtles see in colour? Or are they colour blind?

Answer 1

Many reptiles appear to see in color much as birds do but unlike humans. Seeing in color depends on the animal, though. Different species can look at the same object but see different colors and patterns just like some people have better vision than others or some are colorblind to certain hues.
Human eyes have three types of color cones that absorb red, blue, and green light best. These colors are primary for us. Many reptiles (11 species) have four color cone types and, consequently, have four primary colors. They see a different world.
We see a blue sky. Your turtle may see a green one or some other color we can’t even dream of. Turtles, lizards, and birds can see in ultraviolet and probably dinosaurs could too. Imagine a reddish-ultraviolet rose. I can’t. A turtle might see such a combination, though.
Turtles' eye optics is too poor and they have too sparse a density of color-sensing cones. Also, humans may see more bow hues, not because we have more cone types (we generally have fewer) but because we have vastly more neurons than reptiles to process visual information.

I hope that helped! :)

Answer 2

Dogs see 2 colors Humans see 3 colors Birds see 4 colors It very much depends on the animal.

Answer 3

Turtles/tortoises are NOT color blind. They have excellent vision, in fact they can see in full color, as well as within UV-A range. Their eyesight is set for distance though, so things are a bit blurry to them up close.

Answer 4

Lets make this even simpler:

Turtles see details about as well as humans, but only for much shorter distances.

As far as color, they see mostly black and whites, but can see and respond to reds, yellows, etc.

Answer 5

They are colorblind, not predjudice

Answer 6

color blind.
