Even the smallest amount of light is used
The special mother of pearl fish family lives mainly in the penumbra, 200-600 meters below the sea surface. The clear eyes protrude like tubes from the head. With that shape and color, the fish use all the sunlight that passes through them.
Grottenolm no longer cares about the eyes
The elm lives in the caves of southern Europe. Since there is no light there, the animal does not need the eyes, which are reduced in two places. At the same time, the elm has developed gills, so that it can always remain submerged.
Snake in search of body heat
In the dark, the green dog-headed boa wraps itself around a branch and waits for a rodent to pass by. The boa has the longest fangs of all snakes and finds its prey using the heat-sensitive senses on its jaw.
The fold of the skin causes the juice to drip into the mouth
Females of the Centurio senex species do not think about a facelift. The bat eats overripe fruit, and the juice drips into its mouth through the folds of the skin. During the mating season, the male pulls a fold of white fur on his chin, which is clearly visible in the dark.
22 tentacles for touch
The star mole probably has the strangest snout in the animal kingdom, consisting of 22 so-called nasal tentacles. Each tentacle contains 25,000 sensitive receptors, which the mole uses to quickly find worms and other animals in the soil.
Yellow-eyed primates rule at night
The marvelous collects the larvae from their burrows with its long fingers. This largest nocturnal mammal on Earth lives only in Madagascar. His eyes are yellow due to a reflective layer that promotes night vision.
