Without any doubt, animals have much better sense organs than humans. While some fauna have excellent hearing, others boast excellent eyesight and impeccable sense of smell. Creatures with amazingly sharp eyesight are recognized as some of the most unique animals in the world.
Amazing feline vision
Cats are typical nocturnal predators. For a fruitful hunt, they need to use all their senses to the maximum. The "calling card" of all cats, without exception, is their unique night vision. A cat's pupil can dilate up to 14 mm, allowing a huge beam of light into the eye. This allows them to see perfectly in the dark. In addition, the cat's eye, like the moon, reflects light: this explains the glow of the cat's eyes in the dark.
All-seeing dove
Pigeons have an amazing feature in the visual perception of the world around them. Their viewing angle is 340 °. These birds see objects located at a much greater distance than humans can see. That is why, at the end of the 20th century, the US Coast Guard used pigeons in search and rescue operations. Sharp pigeon vision allows these birds to perfectly distinguish objects at a distance of 3 km. Since perfect vision is predominantly the prerogative of predators, pigeons are among the most vigilant peaceful birds on the planet.
Hawkeye's vision is the sharpest in the world
The most vigilant animal in the world is the falcon. These feathered creatures can track small mammals (voles, mice, ground squirrels) from great heights and simultaneously see everything that happens on their sides and in front. According to experts, the most keen-sighted bird in the world is the peregrine falcon, which can spot a small vole from a height of up to 8 km!
Pisces are also not a miss
Among the fish with excellent eyesight, the inhabitants of the depths are especially distinguished. These are sharks, moray eels, and sea devils. They are able to see in pitch darkness. This is because the density of rods in the retina of such fish reaches 25 million / mm2. And this is 100 times more than humans.
Horse vision
Horses see the world around them with peripheral vision, as their eyes are located on the sides of the head. However, this does not prevent horses from having a viewing angle of 350o. If the horse lifts its head up, then its vision will approach spherical.
High speed flies
Flies have been proven to have the fastest visual response in the world. In addition, flies see five times faster than humans: their frame rate is 300 images per minute, while humans have only 24 frames per minute. Scientists from Cambridge claim that photoreceptors on the retina of fly eyes can physically contract.
