i would like to know cats and some other animal see at night but why?

Answer 1

In the eye there r rods N cones. rods allow us to see details while cones colours! cats n dogs have more rods than human beings.

Answer 2

The same reason why a fish has fins, or an elephant has a trunk. Cats and some other animals have night vision because they are nocturnal animals, meaning that they are most active at night. That is also when they do their hunting. So the reason why they can see it night is to accommodate for being them being the most active then:)

Answer 3

Cats' nocturnal vision is far superior to that of humans, however they can't see in total darkness. They can see clearly with only one-sixth of the illumination we need to see, so when you're trying to read that newspaper at twilight, ask your cat for help! In the feline, the muscles of the iris surrounding the pupils are constructed in a fashion that allows the eye to narrow to a vertical slit in bright light and to open fully in very dim light, to allow a maximum of illumination.
In addition, a reflective layer behind the cat's retina called the tapetum reflects incoming light and bounces it back off the cones, making more use of the existing light. The tapetum is probably responsible for the fact that when a small amount of light hits a cat's eyes at night, you see shiny green orbs.

These special feline features have probably developed for survival purposes, as wild cats are nocturnal and do much of their hunting at night.
