If a person's eyes are particularly beautiful
We would say that there is a sea of stars in his eyes
But in fact, in the eyes of the small animals, it is the real Haoyue Mingkong~
Photographer Suren Manvelyan photographed a set of "animal eyes"
Llama eyes
Husky's eyes
Eyes of alaskan Malamut dogs
Owl eyes
Crocodile eyes
Gecko eyes
The eyes of the porcupine fish
Blue gold just parrot eyes
Camel's eyes
Hippo's eyes
Rays' eyes
Totoro eyes
Chimpanzee eyes
Lizard eyes
Leopard-print gecko eyes
Black rabbit eyes
Eyes of armenian goats
The eyes of a python
Tiger python eyes
Elk eyes
Under macro lenses
The eyes of the critters
Some are like mysterious cosmic planets
Some are like mountains, lakes and seas on the edge of the world
It's really beautiful
But these shocking eyes don't just look good
It's also very distinctive
For example, the eyes of a tiger will change color
When the light is strong, the tiger's eyes are yellow
As the light weakens, the tiger's eyes turn green
The weaker the light, the greener the tiger's eyes
And it glows
Crocodiles are severely hyperopic
However, farsightedness is limited to crocodiles in the water
This is due to the different refractive indexes of light in water and air
So crocodiles will often lurk in the distance underwater to hunt for food
Owls are the best visual animals in the world
The eyes of the owl are very large
Ability to see objects in three dimensions
But the big eyes are fixed in the eye sockets
Can't turn at all
So the owl needs to keep turning its head
The great squid is the animal with the largest eyes
They live in the dark deep sea
Their eyes are up to 38 centimeters in diameter
It's about the size of a regular washbasin
Butterflies can see ultraviolet light that is not visible to the human eye
This ultraviolet light gives them a sense of orientation
Guide them through long migrations
Or find flowers with delicious nectar
The goat's pupils are rectangular when dilated
The field of view ranges from 320 to 340 degrees
They don't have to turn their heads to see everything around them
Hippos' eyes can see things underwater
And the accuracy is amazingly high
And they have a transparent membrane on their eyes
Used to protect the eyes from injury
Geckos have long zigzag pupils
This pupil can control light by contracting
During the day, it can effectively block the damage of bright sunlight to the eyes
And geckos can also distinguish colors in the dim moonlight
Their ability is 350 times stronger than that of humans
Other animals have "false eyes"
Take this caterpillar, for example
It's not really an eye
Instead, the eyes are camouflaged with spots
To escape the attack of birds
After all, no one dared to attack a caterpillar that looked like a snake
I have to say that the eyes of the small animals not only have the stars and the sea
There are still many little secrets that are not known
