The secret lives of nocturnal animals: How can animals see in the dark?
Although vision is crucial, nocturnal animals also rely on other senses to navigate in the dark. Many have keen hearing, and some use echolocation, like yes-oops. Others have a developed sense of smell, communicated through scent marking, and some, like snakes, use their sense of taste to locate prey. These adaptations complement their vision and enable them to survive.
