Peregrine Falcon
approx. 4-8xDual foveae for tracking high-speed targets
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
approx. 3xMassive pupils for high sensitivity in low light
4
Mantis Shrimp
16 photoreceptor typesDetects UV and polarized light across a vast spectrum
5
Dragonfly
360-degree fieldCompound eyes with no blind spots and fast motion response
6
Vulture
