Which species would you expect to have the largest number of cones on the retina

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A species that hunts small prey in the daytime requires a high acuity vision, and therefore, it would have a larger number of cones on the retina. Cones are specialized photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, visual acuity, and daylight vision. Nocturnal species, Antarctic species, and species that must detect predators from all directions may have adaptations such as larger pupils, rod-dominated retina, or other specialized visual mechanisms, but they would not necessarily have a larger number of cones.
