| Dog |
Dogs are Dichromat and less sensitive to differences in grey shades than humans and also can detect brightness at about half the accuracy of humans.[2] |
The frequency range of dog hearing is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, which means that dogs can detect sounds far beyond the upper limit of the human auditory spectrum.[3] |

may be up to 100 million times greater than a human. |
