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 .

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' .

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.
A core aspect of studies in this area is the division of eye movements into the rapid movement of the eyes , and the focus of the eyes on a point (fixations). Several factors can influence eye movement in scene viewing, including the task and knowledge of the viewer (top-down factors), and the properties of the image being viewed (bottom-up ...
The angle, or amplitude, of eye movement in chameleons is very large for a vertebrate [1] and the eyes move independently of each other. [2] This allows a chameleon to watch an approaching object while simultaneously scanning the rest of its environment. [1] Chameleon eyes protrude laterally from the head, giving the lizard panoramic sight. [2]
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 ...
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 ...
