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).
