The 10 Most Amazing Eyes of the Animal Kingdom
We know the value of our eyes. Our eyes are where most of our information, experience and memories came from.
God has given us the eyes to see the wonderful creations of nature in and around us if we use them though and without the sight we cannot enjoy very much of it.
And again, that’s very important, very incredible, our eyes are.
They’ve got amazing or even more amazing eyes than animals. This is the 10 most amazing eyes in the animal kingdom.

But the most amazing visual system is found on mantis shrimps. Humans have only 3 color receptors.
Few other crustaceans (such as lobsters and crabs) have 12 different color receptors, but this unusual crustacean does.
NO.1 - Mantis Shrimp
Few other crustaceans (such as lobsters and crabs) have 12 different color receptors, but this unusual crustacean does.
Mantis shrimps can see more colors than we can even perceive, that’s how well they see.
In the meantime, mantis shrimp also have beautiful eyes that rotate independently in a different direction whenever the mantis shrimp want to.
In the meantime, mantis shrimp also have beautiful eyes that rotate independently in a different direction whenever the mantis shrimp want to.
Eyes can rotate up to 70 degrees in capacity of rotation.
This kind of gives a wider vision for this small creature. Mantis shrimp can, in fact, also detect infrared, U.V and polarized light.
They're so famous for their colour changing ability. It’s amazing how much their color changing ability is, but it’s equally amazing how much their visual system is.
This kind of gives a wider vision for this small creature. Mantis shrimp can, in fact, also detect infrared, U.V and polarized light.
NO.2 - Chameleon
They can independently move their eyes.
Then they can look at two objects at the same time on two different directions.
Then they can look at two objects at the same time on two different directions.
Really the power of eyes eye of a chameleon is just incredible, because chameleons just truly have the best vision. Chameleons are fast, down to focus on objects.
Large front facing eyes, makes owls very interesting. It’s actually a great advantage for owls:
NO.3 - Owl
Incredible binocular vision/ability to see something (as in an object) with both eyes, with crazy depth perception.
But don’t get such a great vision for an animal or bird with eyes on the sides of its head.
Owls eyes are actually not honest in the sense that they aren't fell like eyeballs, they actually look like tubes.
Also, their eyes cannot be moved like ours. However, they can turn their head from 270 degrees on both left and right sides.
So that represents a much wider vision for owls.

So that represents a much wider vision for owls.
Owls have also adapted to the nocturnal lifestyle, having excellent night vision, contributed by millions of light sensitive retinal rods.
What’s amazing about dragonflies is that they have big globular eyes. They’re beautiful eyes, and they’re also powerful.
But each dragonfly eye comprises 30000 facets in different directions. The result is that impressive 360-degree view.
NO.4 - Dragonfly
But each dragonfly eye comprises 30000 facets in different directions. The result is that impressive 360-degree view.
They can hear and feel the smallest movement in their vicinity.
They also detect UV and polarised light out of our visual spectrum. However, these same qualities are all important in navigating dragonflies.
About 1500 different types of geckos live in warm climate regions of the world. Most geckos are nocturnal.
They need impressive eyesight to adapt to this lifestyle.
They also detect UV and polarised light out of our visual spectrum. However, these same qualities are all important in navigating dragonflies.
NO.5 - Gecko
They need impressive eyesight to adapt to this lifestyle.
Put more simply, their eyes are 350 times more sensitive than human eyes and cover colour vision threshold.
That’s even with low light they can see colors at such amazing quality. You might not know this, but it’s not a high power within the animal kingdom.
Are goat’s rectangular pupils weird to you? You might say yes. It’s strangely shaped. It is also an impressive vision at the same time.
This is most wanted power for a grazing animal such as goat.
A grazing animal such as a goat are more prone to attacks by predatory animals, therefore, chance from such animals is much.
However, their round shaped pupils facilitate detailed panoramic vision. They help them to see off the distraction from a distance.
From this technique other advantages beside the effective rotation of eyes in the field, helps the goats to detect the strange movement in the field, even when they are grazing.
That’s even with low light they can see colors at such amazing quality. You might not know this, but it’s not a high power within the animal kingdom.
NO.6 - Goat

However, their round shaped pupils facilitate detailed panoramic vision. They help them to see off the distraction from a distance.
From this technique other advantages beside the effective rotation of eyes in the field, helps the goats to detect the strange movement in the field, even when they are grazing.
This allows them to escape the predatory animal enough time.
Seawater is very different from the terrestrial salt water that surrounds us, but cuttlefish is an incredible sea creature that can change its color almost instantly.
Blend in with surroundings was something let cuttlefishes be able to hide quickly away from predators.
NO.7 - Cuttlefish
Blend in with surroundings was something let cuttlefishes be able to hide quickly away from predators.
It’s this kind of incredible power that cuttlefishes use, along with specialized skin cells and incredible vision.
They have wide range of vision with a strange ‘w’ shaped pupils. What’s interesting is that they can even see what’s behind them.
But, what's more, they can detect the polarized light with incredible precision. That’s the slightest variation on the angle of polarized light.

But, what's more, they can detect the polarized light with incredible precision. That’s the slightest variation on the angle of polarized light.
That gives them a clear idea of what’s taking place around them.
Have a strange yet interesting head made up of a flattened hammer shaped head, with the widely set eyes.
However, studies have backed that this strangely shaped head serves a purpose.
NO.8 - Hammerhead Shark
However, studies have backed that this strangely shaped head serves a purpose.
The feature gives hammerhead sharks better vision than other species of sharks.
Such widely set eyes allow them very good, if not the best, vision and good depth perception, like we do.
Tarsier is a member of the small primate group from Southeast Asian forests.
Such widely set eyes allow them very good, if not the best, vision and good depth perception, like we do.
NO.9 - Tarsier
One of a tarsiers most highlighting features is its large eyes that can grow as large as 1.6 cm in diameter.
These are the largest eyes of all mammals in the world, compared with body size. Like owls, the eyes of a tarsier can’t turn.
These are the largest eyes of all mammals in the world, compared with body size. Like owls, the eyes of a tarsier can’t turn.
Just because they are fixed in their skulls, you never know where you’ll find them.
However, tarsiers can swing their 180 degrees of head around from left to right. It’s a way for them to know what’s going on around them.
Tarsiers nocturnal who do not become active until night.

Tarsiers nocturnal who do not become active until night.
That's an unfit visitor from the highlands; the eyes of tarsiers are too large, but they do that well, night vision.
Indention, they have an acute sense of hearing. Both these qualities allow tarsiers to use low light conditions to detect prey.
There are many good ways to be able to appreciate a frog’s large eyes. The first thing is that this amphibian spends a fair bit of time in the water.
Frogs have 3 eyelids, two transparent and one see through. It is known as a nictitating membrane, semitransparent membrane.

NO.10 - Frog
Frogs have 3 eyelids, two transparent and one see through. It is known as a nictitating membrane, semitransparent membrane.
Unable to protect its eyes underwater, it can close so completely that the frogs can.
Furthermore, a frog’s position of its eyes provides them with a better field of view. On the top side their heads had little eyes.
The 360-degree view that way. In fact, they can even see what is going on outside while under water.
