They're probably a related but different species that evolved different eyes since they can vomit and eat potatoes.

>B-BUT THEY SAID THE COLOR

If they have Dichromacy, they can probably pick out specific shades of this just as well as you can pick out specific shades on your color wheel, despite not being able to see the entire spectrum of visible colors.

>>30415970
This.
>implying they can't see even more colors than we can

>>30415930
>Dichromacy
I read this as Dickromancy.

Which isn't hard to believe, considering its real easy for them to make this stiff rise.

>having good vision
There's a reason why their disguises are always shit. They probably can't tell each other apart half the time if it wasn't for their ass tatoos.

What happens if you feed a horse potato?

>>30415985
>ponies can see more colors than we can
Yes, because ponies are superior to humans and humans are terrible filth not fit to walk the planet with precious, perfect ponies.

They're the dominant species of the land.

>>30416040
Nothing. Horses are just more receptive to the toxins in the green parts of raw potatos than humans are. Starch probably doesn't do them any good but it's not going to kill them.

Potato poisoning in humans is rare because we aren't usually biting into them raw.

I've heard something similar about tomatoes, is it true?

>>30415930
Pretty sure since Twilight's been an alicorn, she's had super vision and has been able to see in all the colours possible. Same for the rest of the Mane 6 when they got Rainbow Power, but only briefly.

>>30416067
Magic is the only thing saving their asses from being ripped apart in the forest by wolves. Ponies don't hunt, and so by the natural order they are hunted.

Ponies spent the majority of their ancient history huddled around in caves until one day they realized they could stop dying if they banded together and made civilization.

On the other hand, Humans ran down deer on the savanna and only invented civilization when we realized it was easier to just raise the animals instead.

Take that as you will.

I think you really need to head back to your group on fimfiction.

>>30416067
They largely don't hunt and cohabit with animals to the point that animals being 'wild' in the Everfree creeps them out. Certain traits like the position of their eyes is also a prey species trait. It's not like they're lesser for it though as they still became a dominant species.

>Ponies spent the majority of their ancient history huddled around in caves until one day they realized they could stop dying if they banded together and made civilization.
How is that any different from humanity? Do you think ancient humans were born with crude spears for hunting?

>>30416185
>>Humans ran down deer on the savanna and only invented civilization when we realized it was easier to just raise the animals instead.

The only reason modern civilization exists is because of agriculture and animal husbandry. We'd all still be roaming tribes if there wasn't a good reason to settle down.

>>30416185
We were born with hunting, just a weird type. You didn't think we evolved our physical attributes out of nowhere did you? There had to be a point before even tools. In our most natural state we are grassland carrion. However, while we scavenged from creatures that were already dead we also aggressively manipulated and engineered animals into heat strokes by following them then driving them out of shade for hours on end.

The fuck? why is everyone so triggered that someone said ponies cant see all the colors?

It's called a discussion you retarded summerfag, and with word choices like that it seems like you're not ready for these kinds of things. Maybe reddit is more your speed.

I assume it's like how humans are "only" trichromatic compared to other animals like fish or cannot see all the colors like how insect can see ultraviolet. The dichromatic pony theory has some merit.

>>30418694
Having four cones wouldn't make you see more colors. It would only make you see the different shades of those colors more clearly. Or maybe infared/ultraviolet.

>>30417711
These things can't actually see color worth shit surprisingly. Scientists are pretty sure now that they have that many receptors because they can't process the difference between hues with their brain alone.
