Can Rabbits see out the sides of their heads?
Ok this is probably stupid but bare with me here. Ok a rabbit's eyes are on the sides of their heads right? So does that mean that they can see clearly from the sides of their heads as well as being able to see ahead and some of whats behind them? (except to them seeing behind them would be the same as our peripheral (sp?) vision?)
I dont know it kinda makes sense to me since almost everything considers them to be prey, so wouldnt it make sense to give them a wide field of vision?

Well.... I wouldn't know but think about it practically. If you have eyes on the side of your head, where would you have vision? I'd think it to be peripherally.

Coming from someone who had to suffer through 4-H.
Rabbits can see in 360. At least most can. Front and back is kinda peripheral unless they're looking straight ahead with both eyes.
So, yeah, that's why they're so hard to sneak up on.

That wasn't exactly necessary.
Can you imagine seeing in full 360. How awesome would that be!

YEs. Predators have eyes on the front of their head, prey have eyes on the side of their head.
Deer, mice, wolves, tigers, the rule is pretty global.

Hammersharks have radars. Which means they're haxors.RockaHolicGameR wrote:TNine wrote:YEs. Predators have eyes on the front of their head, prey have eyes on the side of their head.

I'd note that most fish, predator or prey, have eyes on the side, not just hammerhead sharks, because fish rely less on sight as they do other senses.

From what I recall, they had their eyes on the side of their head so they have a 360 view of danger.
The downside is frontal is vision is much more accurate and it's much easier to judge distance and prey, hence why most predators have frontal vision.

Rabbits see a little less than 360.
But, i hate rabbits. I had one, i taught it how to swim, and then at night it got out of it's cage, jumped into the water, and drowned itself.

Re: Can Rabbits see out the sides of their heads?
My female rabbit beat up the cat. We forgot to let it back into the cage and I came around the corner and saw the cat take a leap at it. Rabbit retaliated and kitty got schooled.
And Zaki I didnt know rabbits could be taught to swim.
