The tapdeum lucidum is a reflective membrane in the cow's eye that allows it to see better in low light (such as at dawn or dusk).
Pigmented choroid coat: appears iridescent in the cow or sheep eye owing to a special reflecting surface called the, Tapetum lucidum. this specializes surface reflects the light within the eye and is found in the eyes of animals that live under conditions of low intensity light... not found in humans.

Although the overall structure and function of the human eye and cow eye are similar, there are some differences in specific parts. For example, the cow eye has a tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer that enhances night vision, which humans do not have. Additionally, the shape and size of certain structures, such as the lens and cornea, may vary between human and cow eyes.
The pigmented choroid coat is iridescent because of the tapetum lucidium and its function is that it reflects the light in the eyes and is found only in animal eyes because of low light intensity
Hamsters have a layer of cells in their eyes called tapetum lucidum which reflects light, making their eyes appear to glow. This helps them see better in low light conditions. The color of the glow is usually red due to the blood vessels behind the tapetum lucidum.
It's the reflection of the light off of the rods in the back of the eye. Humans have the same rods, they just do not have as many, which doesn't allow for the reflection. And due to the reflection of the light, the cat is able to see in the dark.
Yes, dogs have a tapetum lucidum, which is a reflective layer behind their retina that helps enhance their vision in low light conditions by reflecting light back through the retina, allowing them to see better in the dark.
See better in the dark
The tapetum lucidum in dogs' eyes reflects light, increasing their ability to see in low light conditions. This reflective layer helps to enhance their night vision by giving their eyes a second chance to absorb light that was not initially captured.
the tapetum lucidum is what reflects the light
I learned this today while dissecting a cow's eye in my lab class. Human's don't have the tapetum lucidum layer. This is present in animal eyes. It's what causes them to glow in the dark. There sometimes is a rare occurrence when it does happen in humans, which causes them to lose their sight. I don't remember the name of the disease that my professor said it is though.

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.
The reflective layer in the lining of the eye is called the tapetum lucidum. It is a layer of tissue located behind the retina in animals that helps enhance night vision by reflecting light back through the retina.
The color of a dog's eyes glowing in the dark can vary based on the presence of a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum. The tapetum lucidum can reflect different colors of light, such as red or green, depending on the individual dog's genetics and the amount of pigment in their eyes.
Dogs' eyes glow red or green in the dark due to a layer of cells called the tapetum lucidum located behind their retinas. This layer reflects light, enhancing their night vision. The color of the glow depends on the specific structure of the tapetum lucidum in each dog.
