Shark’s vision is about 10X better than ours, they have incredible night vision, and they can see almost 360 degrees around them!
There's a reason Shark Week is such a big thing every year. Sharks are fascinating, but their incredible vision is largely underrated and is one of the key reasons their such terrifyingly successful predators.
In this video, we break down:
- What the world looks like to sharks
- Their 2 bonus senses that humans don't have that help them "see" without their eyes
- Some weird visual disadvantages they have compared to us
- And finally, the specific time of day when shark attacks are a lot more likely to happen
This is the 16th video in a series about how different animals see the world. Check out my previous videos explaining how horses (youtube.com/watch?v=gBjqTaM4mK4&t=1s), 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), mantis shrimp (youtube.com/watch?v=osDE9q1IpR0), and other animals see the world.
