What is the difference between a human's eyesight and a cat's eyesight?
Dear children,
Humans and cats both have forward-facing eyes, which give them “binocular†vision. “Binocular†means two eyes working together. Animals with binocular vision have better depth perception or the ability to judge distances. This is helpful for hunting prey! However, cats can see in the dark six times better than human beings can, because of their unique slit-shaped pupils. These pupils give them better control of the amount of light entering their eyes. Have you ever noticed how cats' eyes sometimes flash in the dark when they look at headlights? Cats' eyes have a special reflective layer, called the tapetum lucidum, that lets them bounce more light towards the optic nerves.
