ANIMALS WITH SUPER VISION

Some animals perceive colors beyond human vision, including ultraviolet and infrared, showcasing extraordinary color vision. Here are some such animals!

Here are some animals that can see colors we can’t: 

Mantis shrimp possess 16 color receptors, enabling them to see ultraviolet and polarized light, unmatched in vision.

Butterflies possess 15 photoreceptors, enabling detection of ultraviolet patterns on flowers for nectar.

Bees rely on ultraviolet vision to locate nectar-rich flowers. Their ability to see UV markings guides them straight to the pollen.

Reindeer can see ultraviolet light, which helps them spot predators and food in the snow-covered Arctic, where UV light enhances contrast.

Pit vipers detect infrared radiation with heat-sensing pits, enabling them to see prey's heat signatures in darkness.
