What is the only animal that can see infrared and ultraviolet light?
a. Bat
b. Jellyfish
c. Goldfish
d. Kimodo dragon
The answer is C, Goldfish!
While some animals can see the visible spectrum and either infrared OR ultraviolet light, goldfish are the only known animal to be able to see all three. Their ability to see infrared light can help them hunt in murky waters. Some studies show that younger goldfish can detect and are sensitive to UV light, but that this may diminish with age.
