Owls Owls' large eyes and high rod cell density allow them to spot prey in almost total darkness, making them iconic nocturnal hunters.

Cats Domestic and wild cats have the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer that boosts light sensitivity, enabling them to see clearly at night.

Bats While bats use echolocation, their eyes are adapted for low-light vision, helping them navigate at twilight.

Geckos Geckos’ eyes are up to 350 times more sensitive to light than human eyes, making them adept at navigating and hunting in the dark.

Frogs Many frogs, especially nocturnal ones, have specialized retinas to detect even slight movements in low light.

Tarsiers These small primates have enormous eyes relative to their body size, allowing them to see in almost complete darkness.

Sharks Sharks like the hammerhead have advanced night vision, thanks to a reflective layer in their eyes that enhances light capture.

Foxes Foxes possess vertically slit pupils and sensitive retinas, helping them hunt effectively under the faintest moonlight.
