    re: owls, they have a turret like neck that can view 360 degrees of vision (though their necks may only turn about 340 degrees) It's "Eagle eyes" yes but "Eyes of an Owl" has more meaning.

    owls have poor vision, which is why they only hunt at night when all other creature with good vision are tired and sleepy.

    Not really...the subject was peripheral vision...the eagles is hugely superior to an owls.

    In case you missed it

    an eagle's eyes are rotated towards the front of the head and are angled 30 degrees from the midline of the face. This allows them to have a 340 degree field of vision

    340 degree field of vision out of 360 is pretty damn good, and hugely superior to the owls field of vision.

    Apparently an eagle has a fixed peripheral of about 340° and a HORSE has one of 350°. Kind of neat. An eagle has way better clarity of vision and eyesight in general, but in terms of flat out periphery, horse>eagle. For cuuuute

    Horses and donkeys need that kind of vision for Mexicans trying to sneak up on them for rapage.

  7. btw, the reason an eagle has such a large field of vision as a predator is for the reason..it's a predator...it hunts up in the sky relying on it's vision...looking down and around for any movement before diving from above on it's prey.

    Wouldn't be much of a predator if it couldn't see shit now would it.

    Birds should all have really poor vision considering they already have this ridiculous advantage of being able to FLY AWAY from any problem or threat.

    i read eagles can see really far
  10. Forward facing vision is mainly for 3D vision.

    Other predators and their field of vision

    Shark: A shark's eyes are almost on completely different sides of its head, so the shark has a nearly 360-degree field of vision.

    alliGAYtor: alliGAYtors have the ability to see and sense movement of potential prey animals because their eyes are placed on the sides of their head. This gives them a wide sight range and excellent peripheral vision. The only place they cannot see is right behind them.

    Cougar: A cougar has 120 degrees of vision, in her natural habitat of a seedy Austin bar she is able to detect a vunerable Bill Krozby mainly using her sense of smell and then locking her eyes forward to get a full 3D display of his lopsided willy.

    Dung beetles hunt their prey by smell

    no, not really because an eagle has the same peripheral vision as a cock [chicken].

    perripheral vision has nothing to do with predatorial nature.

    i know all that, the only thing i was noing you about was how you said eagles eyes face sideways compared to owls who face forward. eagles actually have two areas of focus in its eyes at the same time, but they generally look forward to hunt, just like all predators do, and to fly.

    but eagles certainly have far superior eyesight to owls. owls are actually only long sighted and cannot even focus on things close by.

    Yes it does, for Eagles it's so they can scan a large area of land from above, for chickens it's so they can detect predators coming at them.

    ...as for most things, there isn't only 1 reason/use for something, the application is the determining factor.

    You're dismissed.

    Dude, darkness causes more visual handicaps. I would think they have better vision. they're nocturnal because areas are too hot for rodents and such to move around comfortably on the ground without getting burned.. especially in the summertime. or because they know other predators will be looking for them. Lions are also nocturnal .. they do more hunting at night than the day.

    chickens dont have predators, thats why they became obese and lose their ability to fly.

    owls have poor vision, which is why they evolve to have slightly better night vision than their preys and only hunt at night.

    its the same reason poorly trained US soldiers choose to combat at night with the aid of their night vision goggles because they know they cant see and shoot and fight as well as their enemies during the day.

    picking and pecking at slow movimg worms is no more different than scavenging.

    Because owl eyes face forward, they have tremendous binocular vision.
