Human Eyesight v. Various Other Animals

[VidThreeNorth]

This is not really a "photographic" article. At most it puts our human eyesight into perspective. But I think many of us are interested in what it has to say:

"Details that look sharp to people may be blurry to their pets"

A good read. Thank you for the link.

That would be why my dog's not very impressed when I nail focus!

One thing this sort of explains is when cats stalk small birds and mice, they can get really close before they pounce. I wondered about that. I guess the mice in particular actually don't "see" the cat if it is moving slowly. Their eyes are probably worse than rats.

Interesting. Explains a few things. Except why I can't find my car keys when they are right under my nose on the coffee table.

Birds can also see light in the UV spectrum which is invisible to us.
