 What do the colors in a crocodile’s eyes indicate?

In size and simple function, crocodile eyes are very similar to human eyes.

Crocodile eyes work when light passes through the lens and travels onto a reptilian retina. This roundly resembles how our own eyesight is processed and projected.

It’s the alternative and creative ways in which crocodiles use their eyes that makes them so special. The crocodile eye is a special piece of equipment, evolved over 200 million years! Yep, crocodiles have been around for 65 million years longer than dinosaurs. That’s some serious evolution. And crocodile eyes are the most advanced on the planet.

Crocodile eyes contain a horizontal streak of tightly packed receptors called fovea, which give an astoundingly extended scope of sight.

This quirky and unique quality may make crocodile eyes appear menacing, like a milky marble, but it has a much more practical purpose.

The majority of mammals’ eyes contain fovea but it’s usually situated in the centre of the eyeball, meaning that the head and eyes have to move to scan the wider scene. This isn’t a concern for the cunning crocodile.

The slightest twitch or turn can make the tiniest ripple in the water.Any sudden sound or shift gives away the crocodile’s hiding place to any cautious quarry and causes it to run for safety.

But it’s okay because crocodile eyes don’t need to move for the hunter to identify its quarry.

thats enough for today see you in an another post.
