Falcons’ unique eyes let them spot a mouse from over a mile away while diving out of the sky at 200 miles per hour!
Falcons have incredible visual resolution, perceive the world in slow motion, and see colors that are invisible to us
In this video, we break down:
- The unique anatomy of falcons' eyes
- How that impacts how they see the world
- Falcons' visual superpowers
- Their strange visual disadvantages compared to us
I found this incredibly fascinating and hope you do too
I have 19 other videos in this series about how different animals see the world. Check out my previous videos explaining how horses (youtube.com/watch?v=gBjqTaM4mK4&t=1s), octopuses (youtube.com/watch?v=271hvS1E8mI), eagles (youtube.com/watch?v=XhZnGTFcbpw), cats (youtube.com/watch?v=Sck-UP_SFFI), dogs (youtube.com/watch?v=vfH9kT0Pazw), mantis shrimp (youtube.com/watch?v=osDE9q1IpR0), and other animals see the world.
And please let me know if there is another animal you'd like me to cover!
