The preorbital gland is a paired exocrine gland found in many species of artiodactyls, which is homologous to the lacrimal gland found in humans. These glands are trenchlike slits of dark blue to black, nearly bare skin extending from the medial canthus of each eye.
Animal pupils are sometimes vertical - it would appear that this is the same as a number of small pulis stacked on top of each other. This would give more light and the same sensitivity to movements/prey moving horizontally. If there is a predator that has a horizontal pupil than one could expect it's prey to move vertically.
When humans accommodate to a near object, they also converge their eyes and constrict their pupils. The combination of these three movements (accommodation, convergence and miosis ) is under the control of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus and is referred to as the near triad , or accommodation reflex .

The sheep have a dark, horizontal rectangle in the middle of their eyes and this is their pupil. Here we will examine why sheep have rectangular pupils and how this impacts their vision. Sheep ...
To study behavioral responses of toads to varying types of stimuli, Ewert conducted experiments by placing the toad in the center of a small cylindrical glass vessel. He then rotated a small stripe (bar) of contrasting cardboard (acting as a visual 'dummy') around the vessel to mimic either prey-like or threat-like stimuli; see Video. The rate ...
With the building out of the way, the Goat Shelter can hold up to 12 Prized Goats, regardless of type (e.g. you could store a Prized Red Goat alongside a Prized Pygmy Goat). Each individual animal ...
When a creature with binocular vision looks at an object, the eyes must rotate around a vertical axis so that the projection of the image is in the centre of the retina in both eyes. To look at a nearby object, the eyes rotate 'towards each other' ( convergence ), while for an object farther away they rotate 'away from each other' ( divergence ).
The goat or domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a species of goat-antelope that is mostly kept as livestock. It was domesticated from the wild goat (C. aegagrus) of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family Bovidae, meaning it is closely related to the sheep. It was one of the first animals to be domesticated, in Iran ...
