Some animals can see Electromagnetic frequencies that humans cannot. Bees, for example, see in the ultra-violet (UV) range to pick out patterns in flowers only visible with UV-equipped vision.

I DID IT!!
I was trying my hardest to figure this thing out.
Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second in a vaccum!
If I could travel that fast I would never get swept! =] Also tiny particles that scatter more blue light in the sky then red and yellow light making it seem blue. Crazy stuff right? Kind of like Mr.Dizzle
