Are Bob Cats able to see at night?

Yes, bobcats are able to see at night. They are crepuscular and nocturnal animals, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and during the night.

Here's why bobcats have excellent night vision:

* Larger pupils: Their pupils dilate much wider than human pupils, allowing more light to enter their eyes.

* Tapetum lucidum: They have a reflective layer behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum. This layer reflects light back through the retina, amplifying the available light and improving their ability to see in low light.

* Rod-rich retinas: Their retinas are dominated by rod cells, which are more sensitive to light than cone cells. This allows them to see in very dim light.

These adaptations allow bobcats to hunt effectively at night, making them formidable predators.
