Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rods are more sensitive to light than cones and are more useful in low light conditions, suggesting nocturnal activity. Predatory behavior is also more consistent with nocturnal activity patterns, as many predators hunt at night to take advantage of their prey's reduced visibility.
