I was told that for some reason the eyes of a moose do not glow when lights are shined directly at them Why?

Question

I was told , while driving through the back roads of New hampshire one night the reason there are so many car and moose accidents at night is because , unlike deer and other animals their eyes do not glow when headlights from cars shine on them. As a result there are hundreds of accidents on the roads every year at night when moose are more active. And even though they are quite large, their black eyes and dark hair make it almost imposible to see them at night on those very dark roads in New England.

Answer 1

Here is one explanation, from The Heart of New England:

"Drivers can’t rely on any reflective quality to a moose’s coats or eyes -- their coats tend not to reflect a car’s headlights – and their eyes are too high up to catch any light to reflect back."

And from Northeastern Vermont Development Association:

"Moose eyes do reflect light, but they are higher than the beam of your headlight and you may not see them."

Answer 2

Oh yes they do.
