Do you know what it’s like to see from a dog’s point of view? It isn’t true that dogs can’t visualize colors. Our eyes contain rods and cones. The rods detect light and the cones process colors. Dogs only have two color receptive cones. Blue, green, and a little yellow. So seeing from a dog’s eyes would be like this.
Our eyes have three color receptive cones. Blue, green, and red. All three of the cones combined enable us to see all the other colors such as purple, orange, yellow, and so on. But that doesn’t make us special. Our stupid brains can’t comprehend the possible hundreds of other various colors that exist. It gets better. Butterflies Have five color receptive cones. Blue, green, red, and the other two we couldn’t possibly name. There is one other organism already known to have more color receptive cones than the butterfly. The Mantis Shrimp has sixteen color receptive cones. They have the same three as us and thirteen other cones. They’re very unique and look like this ..at least to our eyes.
It is hard to contain them since they kill almost everything that comes near them. “How could something that seems like the size of an ordinary shrimp be so difficult to get along with” you might ask? Because they will beat you like you owe them money! For arms they have two raptorial appendages on the front of their body. The velocity that it posseses can be compared to gunshot from a twenty two caliber rifle. If a human had 1/10 of that strength we could pitch a baseball into orbit! So if you did try to hold one in a tank it could easily bust out.
