This will probably get me a lot of hate, and it's only my personal opinion, but I headcanon that Yautja don't naturally see in infrared vision. I think their natural vision is either dichromatic, or they probably have access to more colors than the human eye.
If they saw only in thermal, it would make it difficult for them to use their equipment and technology, especially the vision modes of their masks - which in addition to the EM and infrared, also includes ultraviolet and x-ray settings.
Also, while they do have a lot of reptilian traits, they also have mammalian traits. Add in that they're bipedal and omnivorous (they probably favor a meat-based diet on the hunt but have a more varied diet on Yautja Prime), it would be disadvantageous (dangerously) for them to see only in thermal vision.
I think they prefer the thermal vision (and the Xeno EM vision) because it makes it easier to track their prey, especially because many animals (humans included) are adept at camouflage. This is why we see City Hunter using multiple vision settings in Predator 2, which was probably developed after studying the data from Jungle Hunter's mask.
Imagine if Jungle Hunter had as many vision options as City Hunter. Dutch would have been beyond fucked.
He looks awesome !! He’s also super big 😭😭 which I found weird bc I thought for some reason that his species was smaller than the jungle hunter or fugitive 💀

(If your apart of this video, which I know some of you are, let yourself be known here and let’s all nerd out!)
I just watched a video with all the different yautjas in predator hunting grounds and I saw this Viking guy
I realised that Bahk’tan also has a skull on one of his shoulders, fur, an axe and 2 wristblades. I LOVE Vikings so… I will most likely give Bahk’tan some Vikings equipment (if I find motivation 💀)

Lore of Bahkt’an the Ancient:
•Bahkt’an is about 1000 years old, he's an ancient and he's gonna become a clan leader (will participate in a ritual soon). He's not as active in the hunts as he used to be because he’s getting older, but he's one of the most powerful yautjas in his clan and he's very honorable. He has survived many battles and hunts. He doesn't fight very often anymore, however, he still participates in group hunts and is in charge of teaching some techniques to the younger ones (he still fights when he has to, and also sometimes for his own pleasure because he still kinda enjoys it). He was very serious in his learning when he was younger. He isn’t that tall (bc he’s inspired from the feral predator) leaving him at 7’6 feet tall. His personality, he’s an extrovert but he’s very cautious and takes time to get comfortable with new crew and clan members. He'll do anything to protect the yautjas in his clan. He is very brave and is renowned for his courage. He is very wise and yautjas often come to him for confession, as he is highly respected and seen as the wise and courageous one of the clan.
