Scientists have created, per a new study, a camera that can take videos of natural life and convert them to the different color spectrums animals use. According to the Scientific American, the human eye has three cone cells with photoreceptors that see red, blue and green wavelengths — creating millions of combinations into what we know as the visible light spectrum. Certain animals are known to see light and colors not on this spectrum, known as UV light, including birds, honeybees and reptiles, per Scientific American.
