Guess the animal: Their eyes can rotate independently in three dimensions. They can perceive distance with just one eye. And they can see WAY more of the electromagnetic spectrum than we can. Can you guess it? These giant eyes are at the end of stalks, allowing them to swivel on their own. If you zoom in, you’ll see they have thousands of individual lenses and retinas that each sample a tiny area of their field of view Because multiple of these lens/retina pairs can focus on the same point, they can tell how far something is with just ONE eye...
