Are bats the only mammals that can see in the dark?

no Many mammals can see in the dark far better than humans, but bats actually don't "see" in the dark at all. They make a high pitched screeching sound that bounces off the ground, trees, cliff faces, prey and any other object. They hear it and their brains can calculate what their surroundings are like based on how long it took for the sound waves to come back.


How do bats fly in the dark?

With their wings, if they can fly during the day there is no reason they cannot fly at night.However, if you mean why can they fly in the dark without hitting things, it is because they use sonar to navigate.The bat sends out a call and then listens for the echo, from the time between when it sent out the call to when the echo arrives it can work out how far away things are and so avoid them.

Why can't humans see color at night?

You have two types of light receptors, rods and cones. Rods register light, while cones register the colours of the light. However, cones require more light to work. When there is little light, the cones do not activate as well. The rods still continue to activate, giving you the appearance of light, but not the colours making up that light.
