| The ideal resting safìr body temperature is 32 °C (89.6 °F). They are as such attuned to colder climates than humans. | The ideal resting safìr body temperature is 32 °C (89.6 °F). They are as such attuned to colder climates than humans. |

| Safìr are hexachromats; they can see ultraviolet, and their six types of cone cells have evolved such that their maximal absorption peaks are roughly equally spaced, unlike in humans. Four of those cone cells are devoted to the human-visible spectrum, and the longest two to different wavelengths of ultraviolet. | Safìr are hexachromats; they can see ultraviolet, and their six types of cone cells have evolved such that their maximal absorption peaks are roughly equally spaced, unlike in humans.
