What Is Inside
“The retina in a deer’s eye contains two types of
specialized, light sensitive cells called rods and
cones. One main difference between the eyes of
deer and humans can be seen when we compare
the number of rods and cones.”
The Color Spectrum
“Deer are, simply put, color blind. This means deer can
distinguish blue from red, but not green from red, or
orange from red. The color deer see best is blue and they
can also see yellows and UV light. “
Predator VS Prey
“Almost everyone knows that prey animals, like
deer, have their eyes positioned on the side of
their heads. This allows them to have a 300 degree field of view, compared to about 120 degrees
for humans. “
