To human eyes, the world at night is a formless canvas of grey. Many nocturnal animals, on the other hand, experience a rich and varied world, bursting with details, shapes, and colors. What is it, then, that separates moths from men? Anna Stckl uncovers the science behind night vision. Lesson by Anna Stckl

A Tarsiers eyes are about 16mm wide I believe while a human has eyes as wide as 22-24mm (correct me if Im wrong. With that in mind, shouldnt humans see better than Tarsiers? Or does it have to do with their lenses and pupils? What about their photoreceptors? Do they have more rods and less cones?

Not gonna lie the cat seems to do it the most efficiently because it doesn't sacrifice detail like the hawk moth and doesn't require extra size like the Tarsier. Also shining eyes? That's so cool

Can we all appreciate how interesting the end lines of each and every TED-Ed video are? THEY MAKE YOU THINK 'wow. THAT was deep. '
