Hello, it's Molly Bloom here and you're listening to Brainzon from American Public Media.

We are serious about being curious.

And speaking of curious, have you ever heard that saying curiosity killed the cat?

We're not really fans of that phrase because it makes curiosity sound like something bad.

We should all be curious.

It's how we learn new things.

I think the saying should go, curiosity made the cat ask lots of questions and now the cat

knows a ton of stuff and is everyone's favorite animal to talk to at parties or something

like that.

So in that spirit, onto the questions.

We got this one recently from Josh and Neal, Switzerland.

Why do some animals like wolves have eyes that glow in a dark?

It's a great question.

Wolves do indeed have eyes that appear to glow in the dark.

Human eyes?

Nope.

But lots of other animals have these glowing eyes like dogs, deer, cows, ferrets, horses,

and yes, cats.

Inspired by Josh's question, we are presenting an encore of an episode that answered this

same query.

Producer Sandin Totten joined co-host Sophia Gordon and me to explain.

Hey, Sophia, hey Molly.
