Yes of course animals can see better in the dark than humans.Why do you think Owls and Aye-ayes are nocturnal? so their eyesight has to be better than ours .Have you ever seen an animal stumble in the dark/at night ? i havent,but us humans will if we don't have some type of light to see we will stumble or even worse break a toe or something ,because we cant see in the dark.What i am trying to say is that yes of course animals can see better than humans.

No. Why do you think people say that a dog's night vision is better than a human's?
Why do you think owls and aye-ayes are nocturnal? Nocturnal means active at night, so their eyesight has to be better than ours.
Why do you think we stumble around in the dark/at night? Because we cannot see well in the dark.

This depends on which type of animal it is. If it is an owl or a wolf then they can see very well in the dark. If its a hamster or fish or some small animal, they might not. Sarah (age 12)

Why are some animals colour-blind?

They have less cones in their eyes. Humans have cones and rods. The cones are for color and rods are for light. Cats have a ton of rods so that is why they can see in the dark well and humans can't. The more rods you have, the better you can see at night or in the dark. Animals have a lot more rods because that is more beneficial to them than seeing colors.

Like humans, dogs cannot see in truly dark conditions, but dogs' eyesight is better at night with minimal light from the moon, stars, or human lighting. They also detect motion much better in general, whereas humans detect color much better, so at night humans are at a disadvantage for color detection but dogs can still see motion easily.
