A spruce forest is not only the realm of trees, but also a world of animals. When it gets dark in the forest, we humans leave this often eerie place and head home. We are not made for the darkness. Our senses fail when the night awakens. Unlike the nocturnal forest dwellers, they communicate with sounds, orient themselves using ultrasound, and their often gigantic-looking eyes are perfect for navigating the jungle of trees.
