Ever wonder why your cat stares at you like you're the world's most fascinating reality show? Or why dogs always seem to catch you doing something embarrassing? It's all about those peepers, baby! The animal kingdom is a visual smorgasbord of eyeballs, from the tiny pinpricks of a shrew to the dinner-plate-sized saucers of deep-sea dwellers.
Some critters have eyes on stalks, others have more eyes than legs (looking at you, spiders), and a few poor souls are stuck with permanent resting fish face. Evolution's been playing ocular roulette, and the results are wild.
From owls that can spot a mouse from a mile away to chameleons with independent eye-swiveling skills that'd make any multitasker jealous, nature's got an eye for the dramatic. And let's not forget about those hypnotic goat pupils – horizontal rectangles that scream, "I'm different, deal with it!"
