How a Mouse Might Experience Color (IMAGE)
Caption
On a background of clean mouse bedding are two dishes containing bedding soiled with urine (left) and a mix of plant seeds (right). Ultraviolet in this scene (UV, invisible to human observers) is rendered in green, and green in the scene is rendered in red. The plant seeds reflect UV light, whereas urine absorbs it.
