Did you know? Goats and sheep have rectangular pupils — narrow vertical or wide horizontal. The horizontal shape gives them 320° field of view without turning their head — ideal for spotting predators. Octopuses, frogs and some snakes also have rectangular pupils.

Accepted Answer

Goats and sheep have rectangular pupils — narrow vertical or wide horizontal. The horizontal shape gives them 320° field of view without turning their head — ideal for spotting predators. Octopuses, frogs and some snakes also have rectangular pupils.

Geiten en schapen hebben rechthoekige pupillen — verticaal smal of horizontaal breed. Het horizontale formaat geeft hen 320° gezichtsveld zonder hun hoofd te draaien — ideaal om roofdieren te zien aankomen. Octopussen, kikkers en sommige slangen hebben ook rechthoekige pupillen.
