Animals can see what we cannot see

Animals can see what we cannot see" refers to the remarkable abilities of various animal species to perceive the world in ways beyond human comprehension. While humans rely primarily on vision within the visible spectrum, many animals possess specialized visual adaptations that allow them to detect ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, or even polarized light. These capabilities enable animals to navigate their environments, communicate with others, hunt for prey, and avoid predators more effectively. From the ultraviolet patterns on flowers that guide bees to the infrared heat signatures detected by pit vipers to locate prey, the sensory perceptions of animals offer fascinating insights into the diversity and complexity of the natural world.
