  • A pride of lion makes use of their organizational abilities and advanced night vision to corner a puku. It’s an easy meal, and the lions dig in with relish.

    Wow, didn’t realize they could miss them if they’re not moving

      Thats not necessarily true. They do have good eyesight, but just cant focus their eyes well from a distance. But, they will still see relatively fine.

    it lacks explanation why movement changes anything in lions vision
    either it sees or not
    if sees than what sees exactly

    It looks like white hot thermal vision. Crazy that humans are innovating in ways so we can have senses like animals.

      Thanks, I was wondering what kind of night vision camera this must be. I love the look of this. What would video with this camera look like of nightlife? Would it need to be completely dark or could some artificial light make it still look awesome? What would artificial light look like under this camera?
      Sorry, don’t mean to pepper you with questions. Just stuff I’m wondering aloud and for anyone to give any insight.

      @@mick2spic no problem. White hot thermal vision is very similar to what you see here. You can find white/black hot being used in gunner cameras in tanks/helicopters to greatly enhance vision in all lighting scenarios, night and day time. Those are the most widely found uses, and you can also easily find footage of what it looks like. You can also find it in some weapon scopes, and even binoculars/monoculars that are available to civilians.
      The thermal vision, white or black hot, highlights anything with a significant or unnatural heat signature compared to the area around the highlighted target. So in a nutshell, it will highlight vehicles, people, or animals in a hunter’s case, in bright white or dark black, depending on if you’re using white or black hot. White hot would highlight a target in white, with the surrounding area being darker, and black hot would be the opposite. It’s only downfall is dust and/or smoke that can obscure the vision, at least on the early implementations of thermal vision that I’ve read about.
      It’s really cool how similar our thermal vision is to this and I imagine big cats also have the ability to detect heat signatures with their sight, which is why it looks so similar.
