Best Answer

"Horses are not totally colorblind, but they do not see the range of colors we see. There are two kinds of photoreceptors in the eye that allows animals to see colors: cones and rods. Rods allow them to see in low light conditions and cones are sensitive to color. Horses have just two types of cones, whereas humans have three. Reducing the number to two greatly reduces the number of colors horses see. They see mostly in the yellow, brown, and gray ranges."

What animals see in blck and white?

AnswerNot at all. They always said that dogs do, but it has been proven that dogs see the world basically in red green and yellow as well. Cows see in purple as well as black and white. Horses see only in black and white. Pigs see neon colors, but not black and white. I know that cats see in full colour. Oh and humans! AnswerNo, not all animals see in black and white. Some have been known to see in full colour but I'm not quite sure which they are. MoreLook at how the animal lives and you'll get some clues. Animals that eat fruit need to be able to tell which fruits are ripe and which are not, so monkeys, apes, and fruit-eating birds see in color. Insects that pollinate plants need to see colors to distinguish the right kinds of flowers for them, so bees and some other insects see some colors (and, indeed, some can see ultraviolet colors that we humans can not). Animals that use the color of their own bodies as social signals often see in color, but not always. So lizards that flash colorful dewlaps in their territorial and mating displays usually see some color, as do most birds.AnswerSimple answer, no.
