Experiments on blue jays suggest they form a search image for certain prey.. Visual predators may form what is termed a search image of certain prey.. Predators need not locate their host directly: Kestrels, for instance, are able to detect the faeces and urine of their prey (which reflect ultraviolet), allowing them to identify areas where there are large numbers of voles, for example.
The foureye butterflyfish gets its name from a large and conspicuous eyespot on each side of the body near the tail. A black vertical bar on the head runs through the true eye, making it hard to see. [18] This may deceive predators in two ways: into attacking the tail rather than the more vulnerable head, and about the fish's likely direction ...
Predators with a visual acuity of 0.11 degrees (of arc) would be able to detect individual photophores of the Madeira lanternfish Ceratoscopelus maderensis at up to 2 metres (2.2 yd), and they would be able to see the general layout of the photophore clusters with poorer visual acuity.

Two eyes usually move independently, [6] [7] and in some species they can move coordinatedly in opposite directions. [8] Birds with eyes on the sides of their heads have a wide field of view, useful for detecting predators, while those with eyes on the front of their heads, such as owls, have binocular vision and can estimate distances when ...
The best places to see these weaker auroras is close to the planet's poles, like in Greenland or southern Argentina. If you see the aurora near the North Pole, it's nicknamed the northern lights.
