Do sharks see black and white?

Sharks can only see in shades of grey. Findings from a study by Australian scientists, released in September 2012, show that sharks' eyes have just one type of cone opsin - or light-sensitive proteins found in the photoreceptor cells of the retina - instead of the two or more that are needed to see colour. Cone opsins are used to help animals see in bright light, and to differentiate between colours.

Can an Egyptian mau breed of cat have blue eyes?

If the black cat has white fur as well, then yes. Solid black cats can have blue eyes, but it is very rare due to the way feline genetics are set up. In order for a black cat to have blue eyes, it must also carry the gene for white fur. A black cat with blue eyes usually has a tiny patch of white somewhere on its body (even just one or two hairs). It is much more common for a solid black cat to have yellow or green eyes.

Why do great white sharks roll their eyes when in fights?

To protect their eyes from being injured or getting debris in there. Most sharks actually do this, not just white sharks. Or have a protective film that covers their eyes like an eyelid. Also they do this while feeding as well as fighting. The best answer that marine biologists have come up with is that sharks eyes are very sensitive and by rolling them back it protects them from what might hit their eyes.
