@sciencefunn: Many prey animals like deer and wild boars are dichromats — they have only two types of cone cells, typically sensitive to: Short wavelengths (blue); Medium wavelengths (green). They lack red-sensitive cones, so they can’t distinguish red/orange from green/brown. As a result, a tiger’s orange fur blends into green foliage, appearing greenish or brownish to them. This makes the tiger’s color effective camouflage — not because it’s invisible to humans, but because it’s well-hidden from the animals it hunts. In essence, tigers are orange for us, but invisible assassins in the grass for deer. We share interesting science content. Feel free to join us for more.

twd-geek :

So basically color doesn’t exist? Because we all see colors differently and every species sees a certain thing in a different color. So how can we be sure what color something even is? Maybe the entire world we live in is black and white, or everything is a different shade of yellow. How does one know what is even real anymore.
