Animals perceive humans differently than humans perceive them: mice see humans as blurry threats with 20/600 visual acuity and detect UV light in human fluids; cats view humans as large, dumb cats using the same communication methods as other cats, with 14 times stronger smell than humans; dogs see humans as different species with 20/75 visual acuity, recognizing humans through scent and eye contact; and monkeys, with visual brain cells 90% similar to humans, perceive humans as troop rivals and test their strength through challenging behaviors.

How do animals see us? (Family or Food)
Added:Imagine for a moment what if the eyes of these animals were a window to secrets you don't know about yourself. You think you know them well. You imagine the mouse trembles in fear of you. That the dog loves you. That the cat respects you. Wait, because what's coming breaks everything you thought you knew about yourself. The mouse. No way. The mouse is afraid of me. Nonsense. In reality, the mouse never sees the details of your face. Never. You think those tiny mouse eyes are sharp? Wrong. Its visual acuity is 20 over 600. A terrifying number. In a normal human, it's 2020. By human standards, the mouse is legally blind.
But that's not the danger here. The danger is in what you don't see. Rodents see the world as an unclear gray fog.
Their eyes are extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light. That means they can see colors in your urine and sweat that are hidden from human eyes. Terrifying, right? Its strongest tool isn't fear of you. It's its sense of smell and the touch of its whiskers. Its whiskers let it feel the subtle vibrations of your movement. But the mouse, it doesn't know you're human. It sees you only as a blurry shadow representing a threat. You think that's the peak of horror? Wait, because real horror starts here with the animal that's in your home right now.
The cat. The cat sees you as a big brother. Oh, don't get ahead of yourself. You think it respects you? No.
Cats see you as the one who prepares their food. I think cats see us as big, dumb cats. very big cats, similar to them, but stupid. Why? Because cats use the same communication methods with you as they do with other cats. They rub their heads on you just like they do with cats. They raise their tails just like they do with cats. They knead on you, a movement they did as kittens with their mother. As for color, the cat's world, blue, gray, yellow, red, and green, they don't see them. Their sense of smell is 14 times stronger than yours. Cats recognize you by your scent in the tone of your voice before your face. The cat doesn't see your features.
It just knows you're a strange, friendly cat. What's coming will make you understand your relationship with man's best friend, the dog. Let's end the first myth. Dogs don't see the world in black and white. Dogs see the world in colors, yellow, blue, and gray. They see humans as completely different. A dog's visual acuity is 20 over 75. That means blurriness makes you look like a blob.
These intelligent dogs know you're a completely different species from dogs.
How do we know? A study showed pictures of humans and pictures of dogs to dogs.
The dogs easily picked out the human photos from the dog photos. The dog knows you're different from it and trusts you like an infant trusts its mother. Here's the real bombshell. The dog stares into your eyes. In studies, dogs focus more on people than on other dogs. Does it love you? Sure. But why?
Because you are the source of safety and food. Does it respect you as a person or just the hand that feeds it? But the next shock will make you reconsider everything you know about the monkey.
The monkey. Most people say monkeys resemble humans. That's largely true.
Monkeys eyes are highly developed. The neural cells of their visual brain are about 90% similar to humans. A monkey can read your facial expressions, anger, joy, fear, and understand them. The terrifying reason, the monkey sees you as a rival within the troop. If you raise a monkey from a young age, it sees you as its mother. But when it grows up, it constantly tests your patience. It throws dirt at you. It's testing your strength. It bears its teeth at you.
It's trying to scare you. Monkeys judge your abilities. Is this bigger one weak or capable? Write your pet's name in the comments. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and hit like. See you in the next video.
