Almost every animal has eyes, but not all see as we do. Each species has a special eye sight, appropriate to its needs. The shape of the eye, its position on the head, the development of particular sensibilities, have allowed each species to have the kind of sight which allows it to localise food, to defend itself from predators, to find its partner.
Until recently it was believed that many animals saw the world out of focus and only in black and white. New research on both the eyes and brains of animals has allowed a more precise understanding of the different visual faculties of animals. The discoveries made by scientists allow us to see the world just as animals do.
