Re: Polarized vision

Polarization seems to result in an exaggerated difference between different light sources. This would help a predator to distinguish between two object of similar color that have subtle differences. They may be capable of recognizing that one color means food and the other does not. In general, animals have a much wider range of color vision than humans. That makes me feel cheated.
