No animals have eyes that glow at night. For an animal's eyes to glow at night, the animal's eyes would have to have a light source within them, and no animal has a light source within its eyes. Let's look a bit more closely.
We often see footage (a video or the like) of animals where the film was shot at night. To see animals at night, we often use light sources that are not within the visible spectrum (and, thus, are invivible to animals), like infrared. In any case, the light source is pointed at the subjects (the animals), and the camera, which is sensitive to that frequency (or wavelength, if you prefer) of light captures the action. The "trick" is that the light will be reflected off the retina of the animals that look at the light source, and this reflection wil be picked up by the camera. It will appear that the animal has luminous (glowing) eyes, but it's really an optical trick.
A number of animals can see well at night because light that enters their eyes and is reflected off the retina can be "re-reflected" back onto the retina to improve the resolving power of the animal's vision. As stated above, no animals have light sources within their eyes. And many animals have a retina that will reflect enough of the light from a film maker's source back into the camera lens, thus making the animal's eyes appear to "glow" in the night.

Why does animals and plants glow in the dark and not others?

Why do animals eyes glow in the dark but humans don't?
Animals' eyes appear to glow in the dark due to a layer called the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer behind the retina that helps animals see better in low light conditions. Humans do not possess this reflective layer in their eyes, so our eyes do not exhibit the same glowing effect in the dark.
What other animals beside the cat has eyes that glow in the dark?
No animals have eyes that glow in the dark. Some animals, particularly nocturnal predators, have a REFLECTIVE layer behind the retina, to improve their vision in poor light conditions. But these don't glow, they reflect incoming light. No incoming light, no reflection, no glow.
Why does one of my cats eyes glow and the other one doesn't?
No. In the dark, the eyes of animals, especially animals that are nocturnal, will reflect light and look like they glow. This is the same thing that causes your eyes to "glow" red when someone takes a photo with a flash.
How do animals eyes glow in the dark?
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.

Why do panthers eyes glow in the dark?

Do wolf eyes glow in the dark?
I do not think so.No earth animals' eyes actually glow in the dark. What appears to be glowing is actually eyes reflecting light because of the way their eyes are made to use light more efficiently.If there were no light hitting their eyes you wouldn't see their eyes.That said...both coyotes and wolves have eyes that look like they glow in the dark.
Why do dog eyes glow in the dark?
Dog eyes glow in the dark because of a layer of cells in their eyes called the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light and helps them see better in low light conditions.
