About: Why do the eyes of a Lion set in front of its head rather then its sides   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Most predators, lions included, have the front-set eyes. I believe that this improves features such as front-facing depth perception which are useful for chasing prey. Side-facing eyes are more characteristic of prey animals, presumably because they provide a wider view of incoming threats.
