word hier zoveel blijer van dan al die verkeerd geparkeerde auto’s! Wat is het rode oog?
Oog: The red color comes from light that reflects off of the retinas in our eyes. In many animals, including dogs, cats and deer, the retina has a special reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum that acts almost like a mirror at the backs of their eyes. If you shine a flashlight or headlights into their eyes at night, their eyes shine back with bright, white light. Here is what Encyclopedia Britannica has to say about the tapetum lucidum:
Humans don’t have this tapetum lucidum layer in their retinas. If you shine a flashlight in a person’s eyes at night, you don’t see any sort of reflection. The flash on a camera is bright enough, however, to cause a reflection off of the retina — what you see is the red color from the blood vessels nourishing the eye.
Mooi!

Fraaie foto’s. En weer een muisje minder zo te zien.
Overdag kleuren de ogen van de ransuil ook al oranje overigens.
