Final answer:
Sharks are primarily thought to see the world in shades of gray and some blues and greens, rather than a full range of colors like humans. They have adapted to the deep sea environment and rely on other sophisticated senses for hunting.
Step-by-step explanation:
The accurate answer to the question of whether sharks can see in color is False. Sharks' vision is adapted to the marine environment, allowing them to see in the dim lighting of underwater habitats. However, research indicates that sharks do not have the same range of color vision that humans possess.
Unlike humans who use three types of cone cells for color vision, sharks are thought to have a vision similar to that of other animals which primarily see the world in shades of gray, and potentially a limited range of blues and greens. This makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint, as distinguishing colors in the deep sea where light is scarce can be less critical than detecting movement or contrasts in light.
Sharks have excellent senses that aid in hunting. They utilize their keen sense of sight, vibration detection through the lateral-line system, a strong sense of smell, and the remarkable ability to sense electric fields, a sensory ability mostly absent in land animals, to track down prey. While most people think of nature as a colorful world, much like humans see the 'sea goldie' fish in the blue waters of the Gulf of Eilat using visible light, many animals perceive their surroundings in a vastly different way.
