How Do The Eyes Of The Cat Shine ?

Cats are the members of the family of a very distinctive kind. The members include Tigers , Lions , Cheetahs , Leopards and Domesticated cats. Irrespective of their sizes , all cats are similar in the way that their bodies are adapted for hunting and killing. One of the things that aids a cat to be a fine hunter is its  Eyes. 

 The cat's eyes are adapted very well for seeing in the night as a cat is night hunter. In low light , its   pupil open very wide to let as much light as possible enter the eyes' receptors. Any light rays that miss the receptors are reflected back by a mirror-like layer called the "tapetum lucidum" which is situated at the back of the eye. this gives a second chance to the receptors to absorb the ray. It is this layer with which cat's eye shines when it is caught in bright light in the dark. A cat's eyes can absorb 50% more light than a human's eye.
