well, im not sure if qazibasit meant me or the other chris that responded to my question. All i know about the tapetum lucidum, is that is a living "mirror" that is right behind cat and dogs(for example) retinas i believe, and somehow what they see bounces off of the tapetum lucidum and allows them to see it twice, giving them another chance to use what little light there is. This is one of a couple different definitions i found on the internet, so im not totally sure if its correct.
