Look at the position of the hyena's eyes and the springbok's eyes

Look at the position of the hyena's eyes and the springbok's eyes. Do you notice a difference?

Predators, like the hyena, have large, forward-facing eyes that allow them to judge distance for successful hunting. The eyes of prey animals, like antelopes, are positioned to the sides and high on their heads, providing a much wider field of view.

There's much more to learn inside the museum's Hahn Hall of Biodiversity!
