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.

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

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!

A little something to make you go 'hmmmm'.
