What do pets see in color?

The popular notion that pets see in black and white, notably dogs, is false. People once thought that their furry companions couldn’t see the color spectrum. However, the American Kennel Club reports that new research and conclusions about canine anatomy point to dogs having color vision, after all — it’s just a bit more muted than their human friends. According to Dr. Jerry Klein, AKC’s chief veterinary

officer, dogs have more rods than cones in their eyes, which improves low-light vision. Cones are responsible for controlling color perception. Due to these anatomical differences, it is believed dogs’s vision mimics that of a person with red/ green color blindness. Color is perceptible for dogs, but not in the spectrum enjoyed by humans with healthy vision. Cats also can see in color, but similarly not with the same level of detail as people. Furthermore, their vision

is much more attuned to up-close sight than to focusing on objects that are far away. According to Birdfact, an online resource about birds, birds have arguably the best eyesight and ability to detect color of any member of the animal kingdom. Birds can see more color than humans because they have a fourth type of lightreceiving cone in their retinas (humans have three). Therefore, a pet bird will be in tune with vibrantly colored items in and around his environment.

ANSWERS

Did you know?

Who hasn’t been frustrated at one point or another searching for a misplaced phone or car keys? Looking for lost items has the potential to zap efficiency and waste a lot of time. A 2017 “Lost & Found Survey” by Pixie, a smart location solution for iPhones, says the average American wastes 2.5 days a year just looking for lost stuff. In addition, $2.7 billion is spent each year replacing misplaced items. Items that most commonly go missing include television remotes, phones, car and house keys, glasses, shoes, and wallets. In addition to using tracking devices to keep tabs on commonly misplaced things, there are other steps people can take to avoid misplacing

their belongings. Create a designated place to store frequently used items. That means each day a set of keys should be taken and returned to a hook by the door or in a table in the entryway to your home. Remotes should be kept in a specific spot, too, perhaps right by the television or on an end table next to the couch. Avoid distractions as much as possible when handling these items, so you are certain you return them to their correct locations. Plus, don’t be lazy. Placing items back where they belong each and every time instead of dropping them anywhere not only helps keep things from going missing, but also contributes to a tidy home.

BICYCLING IN COLORADO RULES OF THE ROAD & RULES FOR MULTI-USE PATHS AND TRAILS:

• RIDE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, NOT AGAINST IT.

• RIDE SINGLE FILE: ride two abreast only if you’re not impeding the normal flow of traffic, or if you are both on the shoulder.

• BE VISIBLE: Never assume Motorists see you or that you have the right of way. Use a headlight, tail light and reflectors at night and early morning.

• SHOUT IT OUT: Colorado law requires you to give and audible cue when approaching or overtaking another trail user. A friendly “Helloon your left” or ringing a bell is appropriate.

• WHO YIELDS ON A TRAIL: Bicyclists, skaters, walkers and others yield to equestrians, Bicyclists and skaters yield to walkers, Bicyclists yield to skaters, Downhill users yield to uphill users, faster users yield to slower users.

• THINK GREEN: Respect wildlife, never spook animals and leave no trace. Stay on existing trails and don’t create new ones. Pack out at least as much you pack in.
