I wish I had a dog 10 years ago.
The perception of the world is different depending on the subject of perception. Dogs perceive the environment differently than humans do. Dogs have special eyesight. Today we're going to tell you what are the differences And why do our four-legged friends focus on smell and hearing?
The sight of people plays a huge role in their lives. Thanks to vision, we can enjoy the views of nature around us, watch movies and TV series, read books and admire the face of a loved one. People see the world in blue, red and yellow. Of course, we see not only these specific colors, but also the shades that come from mixing them.
In dogs, the choice of colors is limited: red is not available to them. This vision is called dichromatic. A person, for example, can admire the bright overflows of a red flower a few meters away. But his furry four-legged comrade will see only a slightly blurred dirty brown spot.
Peels The structure of the eye is amazing. They do. photoreceptorThey are responsible for different functions. For example, the photoreceptors that make us distinguish colors are called cones. Humans have three, and dogs have only two. However, furry faces are limited not only in terms of color perception.
Your pug sees the world 8 times worse than you, and it does not distinguish between changes in brightness. That's what happened in evolution. At the same time, dogs. much better at nightWhen light sources are practically absent. In addition, dogs have well-developed photoreceptors focused on moving objects. That is why you should not run away from yard dogs if you see them in the distance.
By the way, peripheral vision in four-legged pets is also developed much better than in humans. In other words, the dog sees well. everything that happens on the sideThere are many things in the center that you don’t notice. It’s also curious that our pets don’t see the world three-dimensionally like we do. The depth of perception is lower, as is the estimate of the distance to the object.
Perhaps many, having read these facts, want to sympathize with poor animals, but you should not. Dogs don’t need as much vision as we do. They're far away. They use their sense of smell instead of vision.. Your dog's nose is thousands of times better! Dogs are also incredibly good at hearing. They can recognize their master’s voice from thousands of others.
