Predators have eyes in a forward position in the head. We are predators and we need to focus ahead. Prey have eyes on the side of the head to see what is coming and as in wide a field of view as they can. They are also very aware of movement. Rabbits are prey animals.

∙ 15y agoThe common thought is that 'prey' species, or those that need to be wary of predators, tend to have eyes that are more on the sides of their heads as this would give a greater range of vision and allow them to see approaching predators more easily. Selection over time would favor those individuals that were better able to escape predation (it is hard to have kids when you are dead). For predators, eyes located on the front of the head allow them to better focus on things directly in front of them (a juicy rabbit for example).

∙ 14y agoNope. Sometimes they don't. I go to this ELP class where we have to do this ultimate predator project. I just wanted to answer this. Go to tetraisland.webs.com!

∙ 12y agoI'm not sure but i think its because they need to see forward in order to attack their prey efficiently

Without prey, the predators would have nothing to eat. Without predators, the preyy population would increase to the point of overpopulation.
Why are the eyes of a lion set in the front of its head rather then the sides?
It's a lion, not a lizard. The reason that the lion's eyes are on the front of its head is because it is a predator and not the prey. So it does not need to watch out for predators coming to attack it in the way a lizard does. Having eyes on the side of its head would help it to see more things, but having both eyes in the front of its head helps it to judge distances (depth perception).
Are horses prey or pretetors?
