Why are some animals colour-blind?
They have less cones in their eyes. Humans have cones and rods. The cones are for color and rods are for light. Cats have a ton of rods so that is why they can see in the dark well and humans can't. The more rods you have, the better you can see at night or in the dark. Animals have a lot more rods because that is more beneficial to them than seeing colors.
Do some people have more cones?
Humans have more rods than cones. There are almost 20 times more rods than cones in the human eye.
Rods are less light sensative and more color sensitive than are cones?
Rods are more light-sensitive and less color-sensitive than are cones.
Which animals have more rods than cones in their eyes?
Nocturnal animals in general have many rods than cones in their eyes. Rods are used more for dim light and seeing motion.
What is in the back of the eye holding 3 million cones on a billion rods?
The retina contains the rods and cones. There are more rods than cones but is is more like 120 million rods to 5 million cones. Both are special cells that are photoreceptors. This means that they are sensitive to light. The cones are best for color vision but the rods are for low light. That is one reason why you don't see color in low light.
Can fancy rats see?
Yes, but it's better if they are in a dark room for living spaces. They have much more rods then cones in their eyes. We are the opposite, we have more cones then rods. In other words, rats can see better in night, like bats and cats, and we see better in afternoon when the sun is out.
Are big cats colourblind?
Wild animals that depend on movement more than color to recognize prey have more rods than cones in the eye. If you don't have cones then you can't see color. If you have lots of rods you can see movement and in the dark easier.

Rods are sensitive to only the brigtness of the light, and allow us to see in black and white. Cones provide color vision.
Compare rods and cones?
Rods and cones are parts of the eye. Cones allow for color vision, while rods allow people to see in very low light.
Nerve tissue containing rods and cones?
Rods and cones are nerve tissue contained in the retina.
How do the function of the rods and cones differ?
Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.
