Yes. Most animals do not see in color as humans do. Dogs, for example, see in shades of gray and black/white. That's why they can see better in the dark. Our eyes are designed to see color differentiation, whereas a dog sees so many more shades of black and gray that they can key in on movement much more efficiently than a human. Other animals have very poor vision and rely on smell or other sensory means to be aware of their surroundings (eg: snakes flicking their tonges, bats using sonar).
