Nocturnal bats were traditionally believed to possess only rods. Now scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt and at The Field Museum for Natural History in Chicago have discovered that nocturnal <strong>fruit bats </strong>(flying foxes) possess cones in addition to rods. http://www.huliq.com/24843/daylight-photoreceptors-in-retinas-of-nocturnal-fruit-bats#comments Science animals Bats Flying foxes mammals mammals retinas nocturnal fruit bats photoreceptors Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:34:18 -0500 harminka 24843 at http://www.huliq.com
