Now imagine that all around you, dozens of animals are moving easily, hunting, flying, and finding food as if someone left the lights on. How do they do it when you would be tripping over roots? These are nocturnal animals, and their bodies come packed with tools built to turn the darkest night into an open door.  \nThat open door begins with the eyes, which nocturnal hunters have grown enormous for one clever reason. An owl's eyes are so big that if yours matched them in size, they would be as large as oranges pressing out of your face! Behind those eyes sits a mirror-like layer called the tapetum lucidum, which bounces light back through the eye a second time. This is exactly why a raccoon or a fox seems to have glowing eyes when a flashlight or car headlight sweeps across them.  \nGlowing eyes are a great trick, but seeing is only part of surviving in the dark. Some hunters lean far more on their ears, and none does it better than the owl gliding silently above a field. An owl's ears sit at slightly different heights on its head, so a sound reaches one ear a hair sooner than the other, letting it pinpoint a mouse it cannot even see. Foxes use this same skill, tilting their heads and then pouncing straight down through snow onto prey they only heard.  \nWhile owls and foxes read the night with their ears, bats invented an entirely different sound machine. A bat shouts out high squeaks, far too high for you to hear, and then listens for the echoes that bounce back off insects and walls. This trick, called echolocation, lets a bat catch hundreds of mosquitoes in a single hour while flying in total darkness. A moth flutters through that same darkness guided by smell, following scents on the air the way you might follow the smell of fresh cookies.  \nNot every night creature needs fancy eyes or ears, and the opossum proves it with a strange trick of its own . When a predator comes close, an opossum can drop over and play dead, staying stiff until the danger loses interest and wanders off. Meanwhile, clever raccoons rely on their sensitive front paws, feeling around in streams and trash cans like tiny hands searching in the dark. So the next time a Halloween night falls  \nquiet and black, remember that the woods are wide awake, full of eyes, ears, and noses far sharper than yours.  \nWho Is Awake at Night?  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of the entire passage?\u003Cbr>A.
