Top Five Animals with the Most Stunning Eyes

Have you ever been mesmerized by eyes before? Well prepare for more because here is a list of creatures that perhaps has the most amazing eyes in the whole animal kingdom. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Starting with the fifth…

Owls

Did you know owls’ eyes are fixed in their sockets? Which means their eye movements within their sockets are very limited – so instead they turn their entire head to see in different directions. They have forward-facing eyes which gives them well-developed binocular vision.

Not only do they own pairs of incredible eyes, they also can manage funky facial expressions… O rly? Ya rly.

The next up are the…

Cuttlefish

Well okay these pairs of eyes are quite different…

What? Where’s the eye? Look closely, yep that’s right. That squiggly “W” shaped line is it! Despite its utter strangeness, their eyes is one of the most developed in the animal kingdom as we know it. (Did I mention they have green blood?).

In third place we have…

Husky

Most people who has seen a husky before should recognize their very special eyes. Common traits of huskies are that they are very gentle, friendly and intelligent – although it does take time to train them well.

We’re almost there but in second place are the…

Cats

A cat’s eyes color can vary vastly! By the way do you know the nose pad of a cat has a unique pattern just like a human’s fingerprint?

Finally in first place we have…

Frogs and Toads

Okay, so they’re different species so its actually it’s a tie, but take a look at their eyes! They are known to have irises that come in many colors – green, brown, red, bronze, silver and gold! They also have been seen to have different shapes as well. Including round pupils, horizontal-shaped pupils (that are more for day vision), vertical pupils (that looks like a line, which are great for night vision) , heart shape pupils (aww), triangular pupils and even star-shaped ones! Check them out!

    Although I don’t find loricariid catfish very attractive really, their eyes are pretty cool. They have an “omega iris” which protects their sensitive eyes in bright light conditions.

    Well done. Great way of putting thse pictures together.I too only put up my fist articles yesterday.


  47. annaoftx@gmail.com Says...

    On September 18, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    Great article. However, you need to change the grammar to read creatures have, not has. “Creatures” would be the plural tense. There should also be a comma after the word “Well.” Sorry, but I am a stickler for correct grammar and believe that poor grammar detracts from the value of the story or article.

    I think the owl’s eyes are a bit creepy, but loved the rest. Keep up the good work. What are you planning for your next article? Do you consider yourself a writer, a photographer, or both?

    Wonderful article, pictures and commentary. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. And the frog’s eyes, I never really thought about that much before, but they look like precious stones! And I didn’t know cuttlefish had a W shape in their eyes! So interesting – exceptional work!

    Blessings & best wishes.

    Sincerely,

    -Liane Schmidt.
