Nocturnal colour vision in geckos

Our results show that nocturnal geckos are able to dis-

criminate colours in very dim light. Exactly what they use

this ability for and precisely how well they see colour,

remains to be investigated. Geckos are only the second ani-

mal group after a nocturnal hawkmoth (Kelber et al. 2002)

that have been proved to see colour when we are colour-

blind. However, this remarkable ability may be more com-

mon than we thought.

No. Recent studies have found that felines can see in color.

Only difference is the color and they are not blind.
