I know that animal companions are different from normal animals of their type, but I noticed that the wolf in the Core Rulebook doesn't appear to get low-light vision. Is this an error?
From the Animal Creature type:
Traits: An animal possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature's entry).
* Intelligence score of 1 or 2 (no creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher can be an animal).
* Low-light vision.
* Alignment: Always neutral.
* Treasure: None.
* Proficient with its natural weapons only. A noncombative herbivore treats its natural weapons as secondary attacks. Such attacks are made with a –5 penalty on the creature's attack rolls, and the animal receives only 1/2 its Strength modifier as a damage adjustment.
* Proficient with no armor unless trained for war. (See FAQs and Handle Animal Skill.)
* Animals breathe, eat, and sleep.

I would say it is a typo. All other companions get low-light vision.

+1. But as noted above, they get it as a result of the animal type anyways.
