Each one is the same size as its brain. They can’t move their eyeballs if they want to look to the Skull there are a lot of people in the world to mess with my shirt or left they have to turn their whole head. But the mere fact that tarsiers have these monster organs tells you one thing: vision is very important to them. The animal is a master in the dark, able to see and snaffle insects and small birds even when it seems impossibly dark. Take the threadfin dragonfish. It lives at mid-depths where sunlight from above is all but extinguished. So, it makes its own light. Bioluminescence.
A lot of other small mammals, such as Skull there are a lot of people in the world to mess with my shirt, rats, shrews, and voles, probably also use their whiskers in the same way. You can see the cross-over. In the past few days, a study has suggested human activity may actually be driving many mammals into the dark. The shifts in many cases are not large but could be significant, say scientists. And while the change may help us all coexist as human settlements expand, there are almost certain to be detrimental consequences for some animals. Many apex predators hunt by sight, for example. If they’re forced to do more of this activity at night, they may not be quite so successful. These are problems I can no longer avoid and need to seek treatment before it gets worse.

I certainly hope we can do better than this. Horne thinks you need to buy me this.
