Keen eyesight is an adaptation that helps eagles and other hunting birds locate their prey .
Many other wild animals see much better than people, even in the dark. Owls and other night animals see better in low light. But their large eyes are only one of their adaptations for night hunting. Owls and many wild animals also hear better than we do, and many have a better sense of smell. Large ears, like those of a rabbit or deer, turn and twist to better capture every little sound.
