lots of people believe snakes see infared, which for a group of pits vipers such as rattle snakes, or copperheads, or even some boas and pythons this is true. they have pits between there nose and eyes that allow them to see infared. looking at a picture of a rattle snake you can easly point them out. this makes them excellent hunters at night. scientists still arnt sure if they compine it with the visual image from their eyes or if they just feel the heat.
so snakes that have no pits use sight and smell, while snakes with pits use sight smell and infared, to be 100 percent accurate with every strike.

What animals can see microwaves?
There aren't specifically any animals that we have discovered that can see microwaves. However, bees are able to see ultraviolet radiation and snakes infrared.
Do snakes see everything in black and white?
No, snakes do not see everything in black and white. They can see some colors, but their vision is limited compared to humans. Snakes have specialized eyes that can perceive heat in addition to visual input.
Can a snake see?
Snakes all see their environment differently. Most have relatively poor vision; those that burrow especially. All snakes' eyes contain rods, but some also possess cones. The rods sense light intensity e.g. white/black, and bright/dim. The varieties that also have cones see a bit more sharply, whereas the other "rod only" species have rather fuzzy vision. Certain snakes possess 2 special organs on their heads adjacent to their eyes that allow them to sense heat within specific radius. Thus, these snakes can not only see objects in black and white like an old movie, but they can perceive a thermal image of anthing that gives off heat as well. Scientists theorize that these snakes perceive a mental image that would appear something like how the Predator saw in the Arnold movie. Although the majority of snakes which possess these pit organs are poisonous (pit vipers) there are non-poisonous species, too, that have these special organs: Boas and pythons.

How many colors can a snake see?
To explain this you need to first know how the eye works. 'Cones' are what we use to see color. Snakes have a very limited amount of cones in their retinas, much less than you or I. It is the same for them, but not as vivid nor wide a range. Think in terms of hues and shades. Rods are what allow us to see in different levels of light. In general snakes can see better at night because their rods are more highly developed than the cones and that is opposite how we as humans see. The cones in our eyes are better developed and that allows us to see colors in much more more easily and in more vivid tones. (Not accounting for color blindness in humans) In addition to what we as humans see, there are some snakes who see into the infrared spectrum. That allows them to see much better in extremely low light or darkness.
Can snakes feel infrared thermal radiation?
Some snakes (i.e. the pit vipers) can actually see infrared using a pair of tiny pits that act like infrared pinhole cameras.All snakes feel the warmth of infrared and seek it out to warm their bodies (they are "cold blooded" and unable to warm themselves).
What animal can detect infrared light?
Snakes, Cats and a few others i might not know of. Snakes can see in infrared. they can see the heat of their prey. Cats, well I don't know why they need the ability to see it, but i pointed a remote at mine and he flinched when i press a button.
What animals can see microwaves?
There aren't specifically any animals that we have discovered that can see microwaves. However, bees are able to see ultraviolet radiation and snakes infrared.
How does infrared help snakes view their kill at night time?
Pit vipers use infrared vision to hunt small mammals. The mammals are warmer than the things around them (i.e. they glow in IR) making it easy for the snake to see them. Snakes that are not pit vipers have no infrared vision and generally do not hunt mammals.
Can animals or humans see infrared radiation?
Humans can't see that. Some animals have a different range of radiations they can see. One interesting case is certain snakes, which have a special organ to sense heat radiation (i.e., infrared radiation). This helps them find their prey.
Who created infrared vision?
Evolution. Pit Viper snakes depend on infrared vision to hunt.
Were early homo sapiens able to see the infrared spectrum at night?
No primate can see infrared at any time. There are very few creatures that can see infrared as it cannot be focused with a biological produced lens (due to the water that will be present, which absorbs infrared), so a type of eye based on the pinhole camera must be used by these few creatures.The only creatures that I am aware of that can see infrared are the snakes known as pit vipers. They are called pit vipers because their pair of infrared "eyes" look like tiny pits in their face.
Can humans actually see infrared radiation, and if so, how does it affect our perception of the world around us?
Humans cannot see infrared radiation with the naked eye. However, some animals like snakes can detect infrared radiation. Infrared technology is used in devices like night vision goggles to help us see in the dark. This technology has improved our ability to see in low light conditions and has applications in various fields such as security, surveillance, and medicine.
What living things can see other than the visible light?
Some believe that plants can feel rays other than visible photons. Also, snakes can see the infrared spectrum!
What 4 animals can see waves that are NOT in the visible light portion?
insects see ultravioletreptiles see ultravioletbirds see ultravioletpit viper snakes see infrared with their "pits" (not their eyes)Mammals other than primates can only see red and blue.
Can humans see infrared light and if so, how does it affect our perception of the world around us?
Humans cannot see infrared light with the naked eye. However, some animals, like snakes, can detect infrared radiation. Infrared technology is used in devices like night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras to help us see in the dark or detect heat signatures. This technology enhances our ability to perceive the world around us beyond what our eyes can naturally see.
How can your bodies detect infrared?
Our bodies cannot directly detect infrared radiation. Instead, some animals, such as snakes, have specialized organs called pit organs that can detect infrared radiation as heat. These pit organs are located on the heads of snakes and help them locate prey and navigate their environment.
