Had to clean my glasses a couple of times and peer very closely at the images for several minutes, but . . . WOW! The difference is just amazing. What poor, deprived creatures we are, visually speaking.
On the other hand, we humans have impressively greater powers of self-delusion. which more than compensates.

Disguising your visual inadequacies behind such a petulant dismissal is unworthy of you, sir.
Just look at the pretty colour picture and be a happy bunny!
Oh and by the way, goldfish and mantis shrimp can't see either pink or green, so they are even happier bunnies (and I'm not getting into an argument about whether rabbits - or indeed your good self - can be classed as an aquatic species. I am just exercising my metaphorical prerogative here).
And if that chap in your picture isn't careful, he is going to put the lit end of his ciggie in his mouth any moment now. Or is that just Chief Burning Lips doing his usual routine?

My burning question is, "Who has evaluated the ocular capabilities of other species...and how?"

Pigeons and Goldfish yield quickly to light psychological aversion training.... you dont go messing with a Mantis Shrimp without calling in anything less than a level 5 certified Mantis technician......even Graeme will attest to that......how many cars you looking to clear this time John?

Actually, scientific journals dating back over 100 years confirm findings noted in your post. Yale and Princeton collaborated but also worked independently on research that spanned decades. How could any scientist determine conclusively that animals could indeed differentiate color-pallets you ask? The answer, "Easy, he asked them." Dr. Doolittle, lead researcher, wrote a book about it.

Doctors,learned though they are, have been less than conclusive in identifying 9 traits of aggression commonly attributed to the sort of bug you might cross the street to avoid......let alone try to fit for corrective lenses

Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes…

@john-barry I actually heard an Iron Butterfly track this morning that included the phrase “Under transparent purple skies; The life you've chased seen thru my eyes Was distorted, filled with lies.…”. but went with the better known Beatles LSD (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) reference in stead.
