The secret lives of nocturnal animals: How animals can see in the dark

While vision is crucial, nocturnal animals also rely on other senses to navigate the darkness. Many have acute hearing, and some, like the aye-aye, use echolocation. Others have a heightened sense of smell, communicated through scent marking, and some, like snakes, use taste to locate prey. These adaptations complement their vision and ensure survival.
