By contrast, since deer are active at night and have little danger of eye damage from ultraviolet light, their lenses are clear, which enable deer to see a bit of the UV spectrum — ultimately giving it even better night vision. Essentially a reflector at the back of the eye behind the retina , the tapetum lucidum reflects light back again across the retina, drastically increasing its light exposure. Although not found in humans, it is a common bit of eye anatomy in the animal world.
This reflective layer is found in dogs, cats, raccoons, rodents, birds and even fish, and is the cause of eyeshine — or the reflective glowing often seen when a light hits an animal in the dark.
The cones are activated by brighter light and are sensitive to color, as well as help with distance vision. People have three different types of cone cells, each sensitive to a different color light — red, blue and green. On the other hand, deer have only two types of cone cells, those that can see blue and yellow.
As a result, deer see red and orange poorly, and also do not see detail and at a distance as clearly as humans. However, deer have a much greater proportion of rod cells. Rods enable both humans and deer to distinguish between light and dark and to see in dim light and at night. Some people argue that — if a collision is unavoidable — accelerate to shift the vehicle weight to the rear and raise the front angle of the vehicle.
Easier said than done. Raccoons- Raccoons have big eyes that glow bright yellow in the dark. Some experts recommend that one long blast of the horn will scare deer out of the road. Do not rely on hood whistles or other devices designed to scare off deer—studies have shown them to be largely ineffective at minimizing accidents. Skip to content Articles.
