Eagle Eyes!

Ever wondered how eagle eyes work.

I’m sure we all know that most animals have far enhanced capabilities than humans. With that said what makes eagles eyesight superior than ours. Other than eyes being on the side of our face, it more so has to do with the way they’re shaped. Its not all but here are a few facts.

Their eyes are the same weight size as human eyes, but the back is flatter and larger than the back of our eyes. Therefore this gives an eagle a much larger image compared to us. Also its retina has a much more concentrated rod and cone cells, which sends sight information to the brain.

We have 200,000 cones per millimeter, and eagles have a MILLION cones per millimeter. That's far superior than apples best retina displays, and 5X better than a normal human eye.

This is a basic example of how we receive sight.
