The question of whether animals can distinguish between colors has long, puzzled scientists. However, they have come up with some interesting answers as a result of thousands of experiments. Dogs, for example,
I always thought that animals could see colours but I thought I would check. I found this information on the BBC Wildlife web site: “Animals can only see colours over a certain range of frequencies. For example, humans have receptors for red, green and blue but cannot see infrared and ultraviolet. Other animals have different ranges over which they can see colours, and so can often see signals that we can’t.” If you think about it the same applies to hearing. We know that animals hear on a different frequency to us and can hear sounds which are too high pitched for us to receive.
