  2. Bird vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_vision

    The eye of a bird is larger compared to the size of the animal than for any other group of animals, although much of it is concealed in its skull. The ostrich has the largest eye of any land vertebrate, with an axial length of 50 mm (2.0 in), twice that of the human eye. [1] Bird eye size is broadly related to body mass.

  3. List of animals featuring external asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_featuring...

    Other gastropods develop external asymmetry, such as Glaucus atlanticus that develops asymmetrical cerata as they mature. Histioteuthis is a genus of squid , commonly known as the cock-eyed squid, because in all species the right eye is normal-sized, round, blue and sunken; whereas the left eye is at least twice the diameter of the right eye ...

  4. Symmetry in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_biology

    Bilateral features in the face and body, such as left and right eyes, ears, lips, wrists and thighs, often show some extent of fluctuating asymmetry. Some individuals show greater asymmetry than others. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), is a form of biological asymmetry, along with anti-symmetry and direction asymmetry. Fluctuating asymmetry refers ...

  6. Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unihemispheric_slow-wave_sleep

    Certain bird species are more likely to utilize USWS during soaring flight, but it is possible for birds to undergo USWS in flapping flight as well. Much is still unknown about the usage of unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, since the inter-hemispheric EEG asymmetry that is viewed in idle birds may not be equivalent to that of birds that are flying.

  7. Sound localization in owls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization_in_owls

    Owls tend to have asymmetric ears, with the openings being placed just behind the eyes. The shape of the ear opening, known as the aperture, depends on the species. In some species, the opening has a valve, called an operculum, covering it. The left ear opening is typically positioned a bit higher than the right ear opening to aid with sound ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optokinetic_response

    It has been identified in insects, invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and all mammals. [3] There are subtle differences in how OKR plays out across species. For instance, in fruit flies, individual segments of the compound eye move in response to image motion, [4] whereas in mammals and several other species the entire eye moves ...
