But what about dogs and cats? Canines and felines make up most of the mammal carnivores.

What cat or dog is going to run into a brightly colored poisonous animal? Haven't found many poison dart frogs in my backyard, I gotta admit.

Dogs at least are not completely colorblind, they just have poor color vision compared to humans.

While not 'poisonous' lots of ladybugs would be in your backyard though. As well as black widows.

/thread should have been heeded.

Dogs are colorblind - this does not mean they don't see colors. Their eyes mix unimportant background colors (blue/green), while yummy prey colors like reds/browns can be seen keenly.

Both cats and dogs can and do see colours, just not all of them. They can discern between blue and yellow (but not red and green). In fact this goes for almost all mammals, there are only a few species that are truly color blind, and most of them live in the sea. Birds can see colours better than humans and reptiles almost as well. Some birds probably see colours that just seem like shades of gray to humans.

So, most animals that have bright colours to signal their poisonous nature are preyed on by birds, which can see the colours very well. Anything with yellow or bright blue colouring will also be seen by almost any animal. In the case of reds and oranges, there's usually stark enough contrasts that anything that might eat it will notice the warning signs.

I have a colorblind friend, and he was in art class in high school. He would ask his buddy for help coloring his pictures, basically which colors he should use. His buddy would always give him the most awful and inappropriate color within the spectrum of his blindness. We lolled.

I find it interesting that most birds we see actually look completely different to other birds due to their ability to perceive ultraviolet light.
Makes me wonder if really boring birds like pigeons actually look like they're under a blacklight to hawks or something.

All birds are ravers.
