How do animals see the world?
It turns out that their perception is often very different from ours, whether they're seeing different colors, picking up the polarization of light, seeing in slow motion, or just having extremely different eye biology
In this video, I break down the vision of lions, flies, geckos, and mantis shrimp to cover 4 very different types of vision
I have a whole series about how animals see the world, like my previous videos explaining how octopuses (youtube.com/watch?v=271hvS1E8mI), eagles (youtube.com/watch?v=XhZnGTFcbpw), cats (youtube.com/watch?v=Sck-UP_SFFI), dogs (youtube.com/watch?v=vfH9kT0Pazw), and other animals see the world.
