Top 10 Animals That Are Colourblind

Dogs

Dogs are not fully colourblind but see fewer colours. They mainly perceive blue and yellow, while red and green appear as shades of grey.

Cats

Cats have limited colour vision, seeing mostly blue and green shades. They struggle to distinguish between red and orange.

Bulls

Bulls are red-green colourblind. They react to movement, not the colour of the matador’s cape, which is traditionally red.

Rats

Rats have poor colour vision and mainly see shades of blue and ultraviolet light. They rely more on their sense of smell and touch.

Owls

Owls see well in the dark but have limited colour vision. Their eyes are adapted for night hunting rather than seeing a full spectrum of colours.

Sharks

Sharks are completely colourblind. They see the world in black and white, relying on contrast and movement to detect prey.

Horses

Horses can see blue and yellow but not red or green. Their vision is similar to humans with red-green colour blindness

Dolphins

Dolphins are monochromatic and see in shades of grey. Their excellent echolocation helps them navigate instead of relying on colours.

Snakes

Some snakes have limited colour vision, mainly detecting blues and greens. Many rely on heat-sensing pits to hunt rather than colour perception.

Elephants

Elephants see a limited range of colours, mostly in the blue and yellow spectrum. Their vision is better in dim light than in bright conditions.
