as they are basicly nocturnal, the heat pits enables them to see in a thearmal image, image so to speak. like what the cops use in the helicopers at night.

so for exarmple, a rat, mouse or in this case a zebra shows up brightly coloured, also let them see fresh trails going into a barrow.

Well considering 30% of the forums daily threads are "why wont my royal eat" and 20% are just a repeat of a thread posted last week, i doubt everyone knows it.: victory:
