rabbits see humans as?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rabbits do not perceive their owners as other rabbits. Rabbits rely heavily on their sense of sight, smell, and hearing to distinguish humans from other creatures. As a result, your rabbit will most likely discern you as <b>a predator until conditioned to recognize you as a safe companion or bonded partner.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_bunnies_see_colour\"><\/span>Do bunnies see colour?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Cones give us the ability to see color. Rods are activated in low-light situations and lack color-vision pigments. If a rabbit&#8217;s eye were compared to a human eye, we would say that the rabbit had protanopia  also known as color blindness. Essentially, they are unable to perceive red and green colors.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_bunnies_see_the_world_color\"><\/span>How do bunnies see the world color?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rabbits are not color-blind but <b>their color perception is limited. The retinas of mammals contain two kinds of light-sensitive cells &#8212; cones and rods. Cones detect bright light and contain pigments that give the ability to see color while rods are activated under low light and lack the color-vision pigments.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_rabbits_think\"><\/span>How do rabbits think?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rabbits are capable of a wide range of emotions including <b>jealousy, anger, fear, grief, love, irritability and insecurity. Understanding what is really going on in any particular rabbit&#8217;s head may take months or even years of patient observance, particularly when you do not know the history of the rabbit from birth.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_rabbits_see_their_owners\"><\/span>How do rabbits see their owners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, rabbits can know their owners from <b>face features, smell, and even from your voice. These creatures can be great friends. They remember you for a long time, even without seeing your face for years.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_my_rabbit_see_me\"><\/span>Can my rabbit see me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Can my rabbit see me or am I just a blur? Rabbits have eyes that are similar to humans. However, <b>the rabbit will see with lower quality, granular vision. Rods and cones, among other things, are what make the human eye.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_bunnies_understand_humans\"><\/span>Do bunnies understand humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While <b>rabbits cannot understand human language, they can be trained to understand what we say through gestures and verbal cues. Rabbits understand words using cues. These can be conscious cues, such as verbal commands and gestures. These can also be unconscious cues, such as body language and tone of voice.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_bunnies_see_like_humans\"><\/span>Do bunnies see like humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Rabbits have eyes that are like humans.<\/b> However, the rabbit can see better in low light. Among other things, rods and cones make up the eye. The rods help to see in low light levels (night), whereas cones see higher light levels (day).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_colors_do_rabbits_see\"><\/span>What colors do rabbits see?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rabbits have dichromatic color vision, meaning that they have two types of functioning color receptors, called cone cells, in their eyes. While humans can observe a combination of red, blue and green, rabbits can only observe two colors: <b>blue and green. Meaning that, rabbits are somewhat color blind by human standards.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_colors_do_rabbits_like_the_most\"><\/span>What colors do rabbits like the most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In my work with rabbits and other animals, it&#8217;s very evident that they love to lie on the <b>red when they lack regular contact with the outdoors. In contrast to red, blue is cooling. It calms and soothes and acts as an antidote for too much red.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_bunnies_see_all_colors\"><\/span>Can bunnies see all colors?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Evidently, they can discriminate between the wavelengths we call green and blue. Although <b>rabbits may not perceive green and blue the way we do, they *can* tell them apart. This means they have limited color vision, probably conferred by two different categories of cone cells (blue and green).<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_rabbits_vision_look_like\"><\/span>What does rabbits vision look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Most of their vision is monocular (only using one eye) but rabbits do have binocular vision straight ahead. They recognise patterns and objects best to the front of them. They see colour, but are red-green colour blind. Rabbits&#8217; vision isn&#8217;t as sharp as human vision, but they can see better in poor light.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_colors_do_rabbits_see_best\"><\/span>What colors do rabbits see best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We have seen that rabbits have an excellent range of vision due to the eyes being on the head&#8217;s sides. We now know that they see well in low light conditions, although not pitch black. They can see the colors of <b>green and blue due to the rods in their eyes.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_bunny_rabbits_see_in_color\"><\/span>Do bunny rabbits see in color?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the composition of their eyes, <b>rabbits throughout their lifespan only have two-color vision. (Humans have three-color vision.) Scientists say that&#8217;s because the retinas of domestic rabbits have more rods than cones. Cones give us the ability to see color.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_bunnies_think\"><\/span>How do bunnies think?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Rabbits do not perceive their owners as other rabbits.
