The Most Interesting Animals with Amazingly Remarkable Stunning Eyes
Published by 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?
Eagle
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.
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
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.
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
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.

Not just stunning eyes but hypnotic too. Reason why many of our kind gets beaten by animals because caught in awe, we often don’t realize what hit us. Chan, this is the safest sharing you did because we could stare at those eyes in eternity without fear of being hissed, crunched, pricked or bear hugged. Thanks buddy.
