I WONDER - How Do Nocturnal Animals Catch Their Prey?

Nocturnal animals have evolved unique hearing adaptations to thrive in darkness. Owls use asymmetrical ear openings to locate sounds precisely, while bats employ echolocation, emitting sounds and interpreting echoes to navigate and hunt. These adaptations allow them to avoid obstacles and capture prey with remarkable accuracy, even in complete darkness.
