For most primates, vision is the most important sense. They have evolved to have forward-facing eyes, allowing for depth perception and color vision, which are crucial for navigating complex environments and locating food. This visual acuity aids in social interactions, recognizing faces, and spotting predators or prey. While other senses like smell and hearing are also important, vision plays a central role in their daily survival and social behaviors.

The sense of sight is considered to be the most important sense for human beings.
Primates are characterised by large brains relative to other mammals. Their eyes face forward, giving them stereoscopic vision and vision is the sense they rely on most rather than smell like other mammals. Most primates with a few exceptions have opposable thumbs and have developed adaptations to climb trees. Primate babies take a long time to mature because of their brain size, relative to non-primates. Non-human primates have oestrus cycles and many species display swellings during their fertile period.
In primates, the dominant sense is typically vision. Most primate species have forward-facing eyes that provide binocular vision, which enhances depth perception and spatial awareness. This visual acuity is crucial for navigating complex environments and for social interactions. While other senses like olfaction and hearing are important, they are generally secondary to the reliance on sight.
The most important sense of owls is their sight. They depend on it to see the creatures that they hunt at night (rodents).
