    I love this! I’ve always wondered why some animals have eyes in different places!

    The idea that horses don’t recognize an object seen in one eye when they see it again with the other eye was commonly believed to be true. I’m afraid it’s a myth. There is good evidence that “interocular transfer” occurs in horses (as it does in other animals). See the 1999 paper by Evelyn Hanggi in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science.

    Did someone steal Kevin’s channel and turn it into a biology/nature channel?

    Crocodiles are predators, and also have eyes on the sides of their heads.
