The eyes
have it:
I
am often asked, “How can you tell a predatory animal?” What – people don’t ask
you those kinds of questions? That’s because you’re not me. I get some
dandies. Anyway, the easiest way to tell
a predator is by the placement of the eyes. In mammals and most birds a
predator’s eyes are looking forward in the front of the skull, while prey have
eyes on the sides of their heads, so they can see in several directions at
once. Handy for watching out for predators. Some birds however are meat eaters
and hunters but still have eyes to the sides. From a worm’s point of view, a
Robin would be a predator, while a hawk would consider the Robin prey. Actually
it all get rather complicated, but I just pray that I don’t ever have to prey on
a worm.
