Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nocturnal animals have larger eyes relative to their body size to gather more light in low light conditions. This allows them to see better in the dark. The other choices are not adaptations to nocturnality. Color vision is not as important at night and many nocturnal animals have reduced color vision. Immobility of the ears would not be advantageous in a nocturnal environment where hearing is important for detecting prey or predators. Large body size is not necessarily an adaptation to nocturnality but may be advantageous in other ways, such as increased strength or protection from predators.
