Best Answer

Paleontologists have discovered 515-million-year-old fossils which show that ancient animals had excellent vision and could even see in the dark.

Dr. Greg Edgecombe, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum, said the eyes most likely belonged to a predator that must have been able to see in very low light conditions.

"This find is significant because it indicates that sharp vision like we see today in flies and lobsters must have evolved very rapidly. This would have happened soon after the first predators appeared during the evolutionary burst called the Cambrian Explosion around 540 million years ago,"

It also must have been the first earthbound creature to discover the moon.
