Goats, sheep and horses have long, sideways pupils. With their eyes on the sides of their heads, a goat sees a wide strip of the world nearly all the way round, all at once, so nobody can sneak up on it while it eats, and the flat pupil lets in less dazzling sunshine from the sky above. When a goat bends down to eat, its eyes roll in their sockets so its pupils stay level with the ground, about ten times as far as our eyes can roll. Tall, up-and-down slits belong to hunters that creep and pounce close to the ground, like foxes and pet cats; scientists think they help them judge distances. Lions and tigers have round pupils, like ours. Try looking through a sideways slot in a piece of card, and visit goats with a grown-up.
