animal eyes

I didn't do well in the quiz. Many of the animals they offered, I have never heard of, let alone been close enough to to see their eyes! I do think that eyes are enormously expressive in most animals and if an animal is capable of "facial" expressions at all, the eyes are the one thing that animals, both of the same species and other species, are naturally drawn to. It is the way that we humans read (and misread) other animals' eyes and facial expressions that is the key to why we can relate to and communicate with them. Dolphins always have what looks to us 'smiley' expressions, so we like them; eagles and owls have 'fierce' expressions, so we tend to be afraid of them; rabbits and guinea pigs tend to look fearful or surprised, so we want to cuddle them. Dogs (by accident, I think) actually do have very similar facial expressions to humans and can easily 'read' us. I think that it's that (and the natural habit of dogs to look to a leader) that has very early on made them 'man's best friend'.

Well it is really strange sometimes. But my dog's eyes are beautiful for me. Hehe. I took the quiz and I only scored 4 out of 14. Poor: Get your eyes tested. Hahaha..

9 out of 14... Yeah, strange eyes on that gecko. Maybe that's where filmmakers got some of their ideas for aliens...

That was a hard test. With all the different species I am not familiar with I had to just make a choice. I got the ones close to home. Their eyes are lovely and full of life. I thank you for sharing this quiz with me. Really interesting. The eyes of a deer I came up upon in the forest one time was enough for me. It surprised me and I surprised it.

As I had said before I failed miserably. I like the eyes of baby deers - so trusting and of course dogs. I can go quite dog eyed over dogs. Parrrots eyes are usually very kind whereas cat's can sonetimes look scornful. Can't stay - the tenant had barricaded herself in her apartment again. gong in for days!

The most disconcerting animal-eyes are pigs'! They look almost human and seem to show extreme intelligence. I remember when I was doing my teaching practice, lodging at a pig-farm in Suffolk (UK), wandering into one of the large pig-houses. One big fat pig took a look at me, instantly summed me up as an unknown and unwanted guest and set up such a squealing that the whole lot joined in, intimidating me so much that I ran out! I will never forget those eyes!

hi jb I once had a pure black cat with violet eyes and he was also cross eyed.the most amazing shade of violet you ever saw.He would get up close and stare into my eyes and I would wonder what was going on in his cat head. He was really a loving and lovable cat. I' think he knew I would always help him as he at times seemed to have problems with his sight. It almost broke my heart to have to give him to friends as we were selling our house and moving into an apartment that did not allow pets.

ok, this time I got 13 out of 14. And please explain why the other disappeared? can anyone say fishy (eyes!)

hi, i went through the quiz it says 8 out of a possible 14., it says get eyes tested.Anyways it was nice to take the quiz.I am familiar with cats and dogs eyes, and they tell a lot , and we can understadn them sometimes.They have a very sensible things which just react very fast ., they can grasp things quite far off.Hearing and visiblity is very good in animals compared to humans.

4 out of 14. Im really bad!! I didnt know a lot of the animals listed. I have a black labrador and he has yellow eyes, not brown eyes. Since he's black, a lot of people are afraid of him and if only they knew that he's a big baby. Sometimes he's looking deep into my eyes and I can swear something is going on in that head....other times.....I think his windows is frozen LOL Some animals seem to have "humanlike" eyes. Its very unsettling. How do we really know that they arent smart and the only reason we dont know about it is because they arent talking our language. Interesting test, thanks!

Yes! Wow, I rescued all my animals and I love them dearly. They are so sensitive, I don't know how people eat animals, cows, pigs chickens...all of them suffer so much, as they are like us I think it's horrible what humanity, the majority is doing with them.

I really wondered about this? Are animals eye are also windows of their souls? Lol. Their eyes is really fascinating. We cant read their emotions unlike what we do to humans. Their eyes are mysterious.
