Rabbits are born with eyes and ears closed, totally helpless. Humans have very poor vision at birth as well. See: Infant vision. Statements that certain species of mammals are "born blind" refer to them being born with their eyes closed and their eyelids fused together; the eyes open later. One example is the rabbit. In humans the eyelids are ...
The menace response comprises blinking of the eyelids, in order to protect the eyes from potential damage, but may also include turning of the head, neck, or even the trunk away from the optical stimulus that triggers the response. [2]
The dark blue, teal, and gold tapetum lucidum from the eye of a cow Retina of a mongrel dog with strong tapetal reflex. The tapetum lucidum (Latin for 'bright tapestry, coverlet'; / t ə ˈ p iː t əm ˈ l uː s ɪ d əm / tə-PEE-təm LOO-sih-dəm; pl.: tapeta lucida) [1] is a layer of tissue in the eye of many vertebrates and some other animals.

Blue eyes on Great Danes are “permitted” by the breed standard in dogs with merle patterns or harlequin coats, a stunning black and white cow-like print. Otherwise, most Danes have dark eyes ...
A rabbit eye has no fovea, but a "visual streak", a horizontal line in the middle of the retina where both rod and cone cell densities are the highest. This allows them to scan the horizon with little head turning. [120] [121] Rabbits survive predation by burrowing (in some species), [122] and hopping away [60] to dense cover. [26]
Nuclear sclerosis of the crystalline lens was noticed in older dogs. [4] Experiments into newborn macaque monkeys have revealed that surgically fusing the eyelid for one year results in eye deterioration as the eye has not had a chance to grow and develop. [5] Keeping monkeys in the dark for a similar period, however, does not lead to myopia. [5]
Dogs' vision is dichromatic; their visual world consists of yellows, blues, and grays. [39] They have difficulty differentiating between red and green, [40] and much like other mammals, the dog's eye is composed of two types of cone cells compared to the human's three. The divergence of the eye axis of dogs ranges from 12 to 25°, depending on ...
