No, they can't see in infrared.
Contrary to your statement, some IR can be seen faintly by some deer, and even people (won't likely spoke deer though). You'll find those on the Near-infrared (NIR) side of IR (almost visible light) area where most "the movie predator" type of thermal imagers are going to exist in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) or Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR). At that point it isn't even "light" as most people define it. More of a wave length on the EM spectrum. Thus why normal cameras technology cannot detect it, it does not penetrate standard glass, etc.
Haven't looked but just guessing this probably outputs 840 nm which some people can see (very faintly) and the reason it works so well for digital night vision devices it is is so close to visible light the technology from standard cameras and "illuminators" is so easily / cheaply repurposed for its use. True predator thermal is no where near cheap or close on that massive section of the EM spectrum.
You are also greatly oversimplifying the animal sight spectrum as well.
