What does the world look like through a cat's eyes? The basic (A) s of kitty eyes is pretty similar to what humans have, but cats vision has adapted to very different (1) p , so the world they see looks familiar, but isn't quite the same as ours. As predators, they need to be able to sense (B) m well in very low light. To make that work, they have to sacrifice some of the finer detail and color perception that (2) h have.
Artist Nickolay Lamm, who has previously brought us visualizations(可视性图像)of urban heat islands(热岛), took a look at the world through kitty eyes for his latest project. Lamm consulted with ophthalmologists(眼科医生)at the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary(兽医的)school and a few other animal eye (3) s to create these visualizations comparing how cats see with how humans do. Some of the cat-eye facts he took into account. Humans have a 20 degree range of peripheral (C) v on each side. Cats can see 30 degrees on each side. Their visual field overall is just bigger - they see 200 (4) d compared to our 180 degrees.

From what (D) r can tell, cats can see blue and yellow (6) c , but not red, orange or brown colors. Cats can see some six to eight times better than us in the dark. Their elliptical pupils (瞳孔) can open very wide in dim light, but contract to a tiny slit to protect the sensitive retina from bright light.
