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.

color blindness is when people do not have enough rods (certain cells) in their eyes. rods sense color and cones sense light.

How often do fir trees produce cones?

The male cones are formed in the spring near the branch tips and are short-lived. Female cones are produced the following summer and are not fertilized until the spring of the next year. A fir tree may be 8-10 years old before it starts to produce cones. Some years it will have far more cones than others. This is in response to environmental conditions such as weather, a stressed tree makes more of an effort to make sure it reproduces before dying.

Why do conifers need 2 types of cones to form seeds?

Conifers have separate male and female cones to facilitate the process of pollination, which increases genetic diversity and ensures successful reproduction. Male cones produce pollen that is carried by wind to the female cones, where it fertilizes the ovules to form seeds. This two-cone system helps conifers adapt to various environmental conditions and enhances their chances of reproductive success.
