6th Sence Power Of Cat

Sixth Sence Cat 

British researchers found that a variety of mammals, including hedgehogs and ferrets can see in ultraviolet - more than previously thought

Biologists at City University London said the finding might explain why creatures act the way they do

Experts are unsure why some animals have UV vision and humans don't

Cats eyes: Scientists have said that cats and dogs can see in ultraviolet ¿ so they can see things that humans can't - but experts are not sure why the animals need the capability

British researchers found that a whole plethora of mammals, including hedgehogs and ferrets can see in UV, giving them a better view at night among other benefits.

It was previously thought that only a handful of mammals could see ultraviolet light, but the new study could help scientists shed some light on why pets behave the way they do.

Ron Douglas, a biologist at City University London, in England told LiveScience: ‘Nobody ever thought these animals could see in ultraviolet, but in fact, they do.’

Light is made up of a spectrum of colours and humans can see from red to violet, whereas many animals, such as bees, fish, reptiles and amphibians can see ultraviolet wavelengths invisible to humans.
