- I've often wondered how most deer hunters can get away with
- wearing outrageously flashy clothes, such as fluorescent orange jackets,
- and not (presumably) have any effect on their tracking down deer. Can't
- the deer see them more easily with such gaudy attire? I have assumed
- that most vertebrates have color vision; are deer an exception? More
- general, I'd like to know more about color vision among vertebrates.
- What mammals, in particular, cannot see color?
