Apurwa Amit

Animals rely on their senses, and when it's dark, they may feel more vulnerable and uncomfortable. Here are some animals who are scared of dark

Cat: They have exceptional night vision. However, despite their ability to see in low light, some cats can still be afraid due to unfamiliar sounds or changes in their environment. 

Dog: They are like cats, have excellent night vision and can see better than humans in the dark. However, they may still feel anxious in the dark, especially if they are not used to it.

Rabbits: While rabbits have good night vision, they can still be afraid of the dark, especially if they sense danger. 

Hamsters: Some hamsters can be scared of the dark as they rely on their sense of smell and touch. Providing them with hiding spots or dim lighting in their habitat can make them feel more secure.

Parrots: They may be afraid of the dark due to their natural instinct to be cautious in unfamiliar environments.

Frog: They are nocturnal creatures and are well-adapted to low light conditions. However, sudden changes in light or darkness can startle them.
