Hang on- our exploration to the world of animal kingdom is almost ready! These animals have amazingly adapted with stunning eyes that could probably put you in awe! Among these impressive eyes, which is your prince charming?

My eyes have impressed many animals on earth, including you humans. The shape of my eyes is different from yours, the back of my eyes are larger and flatter, and thus providing me an excellent vision.

Image source
Within my retina, there are many cone and concentrated rod cells that dispatch vision information to my brain for further interpretation. In the center of my fovea (focusing point on the retina), there are approximately million cones per millimetres (humans only have 200,000 cones per millimetre), which help me to see an object or prey clearly and sharply.

Aha, I forgot to tell you that I also have three eyelids, with the bottom eyelid being larger than the top one, and this explains why I always blink up instead of down.
Crocodile

Image source
You English people use a phrase “crying crocodile tears”, which is wrong instead. To make it clear to you, I don’t cry because I don’t have tear ducts. But, well yes, my eyes can produce secretion (products of the lachrymal glands, and this proteinaceous fluid is secreted behind my third eyelid, or nictitating membrane) to both clean and lubricate the passage of the nictitating membrane across the surface of my eyes, while assisting to reduce bacterial growth.

Image source
The edge of my nictitating membrane is visible in the corner of my eyes when I’ve my eyes opened widely. Therefore, you may take me mistaken for crying as you can always see tears forming within my visualized nictitating membrane.
Stingray

Image source
I’ve a bad reputation due to the poisonous sting on my tail. Even though my tail is poisonous, I don’t prefer to sting other animals with my tail. During the day, I prefer to bury my body leisurely beneath the sand. However, in the evening, I’ll pull my body out of the sand to hunt for food. I “fly” almost like a bird in the sea.

YOU WELCOME FRIENDS....///

The Most Interesting Animals with Amazingly Remarkable Stunning Eyes

Hang on- our exploration to the world of animal kingdom is almost ready! These animals have amazingly adapted with stunning eyes that could probably put you in awe! Among these impressive eyes, which is your prince charming?

Image source
On top of my flat body, there sits my two attractive eyes, so even while resting beneath the sand, I still can see what’s happening around me. But sadly to say, my eyesight can be as poor as an adult old man. Even though my eyesight is extremely poor, I’m still proud of myself as I’m one of a reasonably intelligent animals dwelling in the sea.
Camel

How would you like me? Am I looking attractive to you? One day, while reading a note left by my ancestor million years ago, I came to realize that we’ve long been awarded by humans as the Ship of the Desert. Hmmm, you know, I can go without water for a month in a desert, because I can drink up to 30 gallons of water at one time. Huh, surprising, right?

Image source
My eyes are large and are located on the sides of my head. Each of my eyes is protected by three eyelids. Two of my eyelids (the lower and upper eyelids) have curly, long eyelashes that help keep swirling dust and sand out of my eyes. The thick bushy eyebrows protect my eyes from the desert sun. I can see through in a sandstorm as I’ve a third thin eyelid.
Snail

Image source Image source
Hey, I’m not blind! I got eyes. Look carefully! My eyes are located on the tip of the tentacles but the sea snail’s eyes are located at the base of the tentacles. Since I’ve two pairs of tentacles on my head, you won’t find my eyes on the shorter tentacles because my eyes are only found on the longer pair.
Panda

Buddy, don’t you fall in [COLOR=#7FAB00 ! important][COLOR=#7FAB00 ! important]love[/COLOR] with my eyes? Interesting though, my BLACK eyes may appear TOO BIG to you, but actually, they aren’t my eyes. They’re black patches around my eyes. My REAL eyes are actually located inside the black patches, can’t you see them? Though I’m grouped under a BEAR category, I’m not similar to most bears as they’ve round pupils. Instead, I’ve pupils that are cat-like vertical slits, and due to this reason, Chinese gave me a name of “xióng māo”, or literally means “large bear cat” or “bear cat”.
Snake

Image source
Do you know why I always keep my eyes opening? The answer is that I don’t have movable eyelids as like most lizards have which help them to periodically close to lubricate and protect their eyes. This is a good reason why I always stare at my prey. My eyes are protected by obvious scales instead. They’re protected by tough, immobile, transparent scales. Hey, my friend, tell you one secret. Do you know that rattle snake has elliptical pupils? But this is not a case in most non-venomous snakes, as their pupils are not round instead.
You may also see some of my species have a reddish brown ring around the left edge of their pupils. Some of them have green, orange, [COLOR=#7FAB00 ! important][COLOR=#7FAB00 ! important]gold[/COLOR][/COLOR], yellow or brown eyes. You may also fall in love with some of my species that have relatively beautiful grey, gold or blue eyes.

I use my eyes to detect movement of prey, but I’ve a problem to see a motionless prey or enemies. And I’ve poor eyesight towards objects located at 40 feet, but my vision improves, if the objects are at 10 to 15 feet. Our eyes are not used for detecting foods instead, as like rattle snake, their eyes are adapted for nocturnal searching while for garter snakes, their eyes are adapted for the use of daytime activity.
