Animals that are victims of predators usually have their eyes towards the side of their heads because this provides a large (360 degree) field of vision. This allows them to spot predators coming from any direction. Most herbivorous animals have eyes on the sides of their head, including the rhinoceros, parrots, deer, rabbits and horses.
On the other hand, acute stereo vision is required by most predators, whose eyes tend to be closer to the front of their heads such as eagles, lions and dogs.

Why do herbivores have eyes at side of their head and not at the front?
i have been led to believe that most herbivores generally have their eyes on the side of their head as herbivores are typically prey animals and need the watch their surrounding whilst grazing, take a gazelle as an example, they are always watching whilst grazing for predators such as lions, they can get around 270 degree vision this way.Now carnivores generally have eyes on the front of their face as they are predatory animals and only keep their eyes on their prey, such as a lion watching that stragling gazelle, i did a whole gcse on the biology B3 topic and this is what i had to learn.hope this helps!
