Best Answer

The number of animals able to see colour is actually a vast number. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to ask this question. However, the number of animals not able to see colour would be actually less. Dogs are colour blind as well as the animals that hardly see daylight.

Can animal see colors?

Animals can see in color not every color but most of them.Answer:Science indicates that many animals see colours although the palate they see is more limited than ours. Birds and some reptiles obviously devote a fair amount of energy into being coloured to attract mates, birds and other animals are attracted to coloured fruits and flowers, dog's can be trained to fetch balls of specific colours, insects use colours to warn predators away (hornets and Monarch butterflies) - all of these actions would be useless if animals could not see colours.

What colors can a koala see?

There is very little research on the colour vision specifically of koalas, but other research has identified that marsupials can see all the colours of the spectrum, and some types of marsupials can even detect ultraviolet, which people (and many animals) cannot see. Their eye structure has the necessary cones which allow the eye to see in full colour.


Why do people think cats and dogs are colorblind?

It has only been recently discovered that many animals, not just cats and dogs, can see in colour. Before, it was thought that all animals were colourblind. Dogs, for instance, can pick up yellow and blue-purple colours as they have two cone types which allows them to see in limited colour. Cats, can also see some colours: They can tell the difference between red, blue and yellow, and between red and green, although these are less distinguishable. Cats are able to distinguish between blues and violets better than between colours near the red end of the spectrum. There are only a few animals that cannot see in any colour at all: Seals, sea lions, walrus' and animals from the Cetacea family (whales, dolphins and porpises) have only one cone type (which is called Monochromacy).
