Dog lovers should not be too disappointed by this because the dog's sense of smell is so great that it probably compensates for the inability to see in color.

The reason for this, as with the dog, is that most of them don't need the ability to see colors in order to get along. Most mammals hunt by night and don't depend on color.

So experiments have shown that birds can see all the colors of the rainbow. Bees, which depend on flowers for their food, have to be able to tell which flowers to go to. Telling them apart by their colors helps do this. So experiments were made to test, the bees for color vision. In one experiment, a bit of syrup was put in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a red 7 1 HOW DOBS WLL, W d. are ?
