ABNORMAL EYES IN THE ANIMAL WORLD
ABNORMAL EYE FEATURES OBSERVED IN THE ANIMAL WORLD The colossal squid possesses the biggest eyes among all creatures in the animal kingdom. This creature probably possesses the largest eyes ever observed on Earth, measuring a remarkable 11 inches in diameter, equivalent to the size of a basketball. The colossal squid's large eyes serve multiple purposes: enhancing its ability to locate and capture prey, as well as providing defense against potential threats from other creatures in the water. The squid has binocular vision due to its forward-facing eyes. The giant squid, which is another type of squid, has its eyes positioned on both sides of its head. This feature also enables the animal to detect predators, but because it does not possess binocular vision, it struggles to accurately judge distances. The fascinating feature of having light organs can be found in the colossal squid, as well as in many other squid species. It is worth noting that each eyeball of the colossal squid possesses this distinct characteristic. The light organs consist of vertical lines positioned at the rear of their eyes. These body parts bear a resemblance to the front lights that are found on a vehicle. However, despite possessing this impressive characteristic, it is highly unlikely that the colossal squid possesses the ability to see color. Most animals that live in the deep sea also do not. However, they don't really require it much in the darkness of the ocean's depths. For instance, humans possess eyes that are capable of perceiving light only up to a distance of approximately 1600 to 2000 feet. Colossal squids have to adapt in order to see in extreme darkness, as they are located at depths exceeding 3,200 feet below the surface. This is why their pupils are also extremely wide, measuring nearly three inches in diameter. It assists in gathering each tiny bit of light in difficult surroundings.
