| Animal's Eye Reflection Has anyone wondered about what kind of animal is out there in the dark, when the only thing you see is a pair of glowing eyes reflecting back from your headlamp? I've found that: Deer: white Cats: white and very bright Sheep: redish and dim coyote: orange Have you made a list of ones you have seen? | ||||||||

| I try to make out the shape of the eyes. You can tell big cat eyes sometimes, and to see a mountain lion slowly close his eyes while watching you is an unerving feeling. | ||||||||

| oh..yes...isn't is quite an experience when the lion just squints its eye...as if trying to understand your purpose for daring to be that close to him... | ||||||||

| I am much the same, I have seen eyes glinting in the dark, usually it is a deer or a fox, or if we are very lucky we may see a badger, but I have never really taken notice of eye colour. | ||||||||

| I have seen glowing eyes in the dark and it creeps me out. I never stick around long enough to see what the animal is though. | ||||||||

| I am always fascinated if I see eyes and I try to stay still and observe, but often the animal is gone before you get to see what it is. | ||||||||

| I'm not sure I would be hanging around long enough to find out what the lion was thinking! | ||||||||

| I agree, he could be thinking that his dinner had just arrived! I think I would put some distance between us. | ||||||||
