Tapetum lucidum..Yes that’s the layer located behind the retinas of lions which effectively enhances their night vision and supports nocturnal hunting. And same layer is responsible for reflecting the light back in the nights, which you might have seen in many documentaries taken during the dark hours from induced light sources.
