Øivind, thank you for posting these links. :lol:

I found them quite interesting.

sensitivity to such short wavelengths is not mediated by a separate UV receptor

 

I found it particularly interesting that the reindeer do not have a separate UV receptor.

 

And also I found quite interesting that the reindeer do not get retinal damage from the UV. The scientists don't know why at this time.

That is quite amazing. Thank you, Øivind.
