Most animals are active at night and take advantage of the cover of darkness to help survive predators or to find food. Different animals have different strategies to navigate the darkness. Some have super night vision and others can't see at all. Please join us to meet some live animals and find out how they manage to use their own special adaptations to live in the dark!
