In total darkness, the BAT does not use vision, but echometrics!
Jeanray: what's that have to do with the puzzle? Not to be mean or anything, I was just wonedring.
P.S. I loved the teaser.

Pretty good, but a little easy
Well bats are "blind" as far as the visable spectrum is concerned, so its hardly a fair question
echometrics? I think you mean echolocation. And this sounds like it should be in the "trick" section =)

Echolocation is correct, and we're talking about vision, not hearing.
should be in the trick
and its echolocation. lol.
and its echolocation. lol.
bats can see in daylight!
just because they can't see anything, doesn't mean they can't see clearly - the animal which can see the most clearly in daylight would be the animal which could see the most clearly in total darkness (the amount of light available does not change the ability of ones physical senses) - if you want the question to mean something like "which animal will be capable of seeing the most in total darkness" then you need to rephrase your question
im just glad that the leopard cant see me either! 
not a bad quiz at all
and because a bat cantb see is pretty much the answer anyway
sweetime if they cant see at all of course they cant see clearly that would mean they see well when they cant see at all
Echometrics, I believe is the mechanics behind echolocation.
The creature that can see best in daylight would NOT be able to see best at night. Try using a nightscope in daylight to see why. Low light requires a different eye structure (rods vs. cones).

hey people i LOVE this trick ? its da bomb 
Bats are NOT blind, let me set the record. And besides, don't they have some sort of special fancy night-sight trick?
I meant all of the animals here, not just the bat.
