Why is night vision an adaptation for owls in a desert environment?

All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day. Since they're active at night, it's good to have nocturnal vision. Some desert owls are elf owls, pygmy owls, burrowing owls, great horned owls. It allows them to hunt when it is cooler.


Do cats have night vision?

Not exactly, some species (boas and pit vipers) have infrared receptors which allow them to see wavelengths we cannot, so in that sense, those species have "night vision" but it would be more accurate to say they have thermal vision. It is also not a very clear image, but a rather blurry one as there are no lenses to focus the IR light onto the receptor cells.

How owls are?

Most owls are nocturnal, meaning that they hunt at night. There are a few which are crepuscular, meaning that they hunt at dusk and twilight; and those which are actively hunting in the daylight. Nocturnal owls are able to hunt at night due to their large eyes, which grant them tremendous fields of vision and allow their brains to better process the darkened landscape.

What happens if you cover 1 eye and look at a light on the other eye for a long time?

One eye will get a darker shade of color than the other. It can help with night vision, but it is only in one eye and it doesn't last for very long. For example: Owls have better night vision than us humans and that comes handy because owls are nocternal. Nocternal means that you sleep in the day and your awake at night. This happens because owls have more rods than cones and we have more cones than rods and that is why we can see color better.


Are cats and owls mammals?
