Love Those Creatures of the Night
Nocturnal animals are among the most intriguing because you know they are out there but you won't see them out and about during the daytime. These animals have keen senses that work for them in the dark at night. Usually their eyes are huge so that more light can get in them and they can see better at night. These night creatures have a special reflective layer in their eyes (tapedum lucidum) which bounces back light through the retina giving the animals super night vision.
