Contents: How do bats hunt small insects in total darkness? Do hippos suffer from sunburn? Why can leopards and other cats see so well at night when we human can see so little? How do pit vipers use infra-red radiation to find their prey? Why do owls have bendy necks? In this book you can find out about the different types of animals that come out to feed at night. You can learn about the ways in which their bodies have become adapted to living in the darkness - from extra-large eyes to echo-location and claws with hair-triggers to electric muscles. Why come out at night? Can animals see in the dark? On the scent. Whiskers, webs and fingers. Using sound in the darkness. Are there more than five senses?
