The average human eye is not able to dilate to this extent without the use of mydriatics. Nocturnal mammals have rods with unique properties that make enhanced night vision possible.

The black areas of the coat are lightened to blue, dogs additionally lightened by the gene on the B locus take on the colour typical of the Weimaraner.
