ANIMAL EYES






From both an aesthetic and an evolutionary perspective, eyes are fascinating.  This post is not a detailed reference to the great variability, complexity and development of eyes - google 'animal eyes' and you will find an abundance of information and images.  A good example of more detailed information is at the University of Utah link here - be sure to click through the 17 slides showing the progression from the most simple eye to the most complex.

    I'd like to have an eye on the end of my finger. Handy to look under and behind things. Also, a lot of fun at the library (heh, heh).

    Pervert! Oh, probably just a normal guy :-) Had a HS friend who wanted to put mirrors on the tops of his shoes.....

    I think we all had a friend who talked about mirrors on top of his shoes. Have never seen it in actual practice, however. Lol! Would seem a little obvious.
