These animals, like most mammals, are
Terrestrial mammals like deer are the tiger's main prey, and their dichromatic vision means they don't see the predator as orange — they see it as green. That makes the tiger much harder to spot as it's prowling behind a bush or crouching in the grass.
For this reason, they are actually red-green blind, which makes it almost impossible for them to distinguish between green tones and red-orange tones. So to them, an orange-colored tiger will match the surrounding forest pretty well, with all the unfortunate consequences that can bring.
If you ever encounter a tiger in the wild (or if you do one in your dreams :-)), look in the eyes and slowly back far, far away while keeping eye contact with him and he is less likely to kill you. Chances are you're in his territory and he wants you to leave more than he wants to eat you.
Try to remain calm and back away slowly.
Back away slowly while fighting the urge to turn your back and run. If a tiger is chasing you, try to understand why. There's a chance it's not chasing you at all but rather something on or near you.
If you encounter an aggressive lion, stare him down. But not a leopard; avoid his gaze at all costs. In both cases, back away slowly; don't run.
Q: Do lions see colour? Yes they do. Eyes have two kinds of receptor cells, called rods and cones because of their structure.
The only animal that has been confirmed to see only in black and white is a fish called a Skate. This is because it has no cones in its eyes.
Snakes have poor eyesight compared to other reptiles, although they still see color and ultraviolet light.
Tigers' favorite meals are deer, boars, and other ungulates. These animals, like most mammals, are dichromats. They have just two types of functioning color receptors in the eye, meaning they are red-green blind. They struggle to distinguish between green tones and red-orange tones.
Tigers are typically wary of humans and usually show no preference for human meat. Although humans are relatively easy prey, they are not a desired source of food. Thus, most man-eating tigers are old, infirm, or have missing teeth, and choose human victims out of desperation.
Tigers are ~60-70% muscle but have lower bone density than lions. In terms of muscular strength, tigers are stronger. Lions live in Africa and India. Lions are the second largest of the five big cats in the genus panthera.

Hearing. The tiger's sense of hearing is the most acute all its senses and is mainly used for hunting. Their ears are capable of rotating, similar to a radar dish, to detect the origins of various sounds such as the high-frequency sounds produced by prey in the dense forest undergrowth.
Tigers have soft toe pads which help them walk silently through their habitat. A tiger will typically travel 6-12 miles during a night's hunting. During the day, a tiger's stripes can act as camouflage, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings for stalking and ambushing its prey.
Aside from gender commonalities, each type of colorblindness holds its own degree of commonality. Monochromatism, or complete colorblindness, is the rarest form of color blindness as it relates to the absence of all three cones.
Rod monochromacy (Achromatopsia)
This is the rarest and most severe form of color blindness in which there are no functional cone cells with working photopigments. People with rod monochromacy can only see black, white, and gray.
Yes, evidence suggests that most species of sharks are color blind. Sharks have several photoreceptor cells in their eyes which are called rods and cones. Rods are used to distinguish between light and dark, while cones are used to distinguish color.
In the elephant's retina, there are cones that specifically perceive red hues and others for green. This is referred to as “dichromatic” vision.
Typically, predatory birds have an awesome long-distance vision. However, eagles are simply the best of the best. Eagles can see eight times as far as the sharpest human eyes can. This means that an eagle can spot its prey from about two miles away.
When it comes to distinguishing color, a dog's normal vision is most like a person who has red-green color blindness. Having said that, no further degrees of color blindness have been recorded in dogs.
What to do: Make direct eye contact, and don't break it. Back very slowly away. Never turn your back, never run. Lions will often do one or two mock charges before a full-on attack, running towards you but suddenly stopping a few paces away.
If you do see it and look it in the eye, it knows it's cover has been blown and has to react. The so-called “Flight or Fight” response. You just have to pray it chooses the “flight”! That is what you have to take into account if you see the leopard.
Eagles – Best Eyes in the Animal Kingdom
To put that into perspective, an eagle has the visual acuity of 20/5 – meaning that it can see at 20 feet what a human with 20/20 vision would need to be 5 feet away from to see. By this standard, an eagle's visual acuity is 4 times stronger than ours.
