TED-Ed: How do animals see in the dark? - Anna Stockl

The video explores how nocturnal animals have adapted their vision to see in low-light conditions. It explains the role of photoreceptors in detecting light and how different animals have evolved unique adaptations. Tarsiers have large eyes to gather more light, cats have a reflective layer to enhance photon detection, and toads have slow photoreceptors to collect more photons over time. Hawk moths group photoreceptors to see in color at night. These adaptations allow nocturnal animals to navigate and thrive in the dark.
