The prey animal (animals eaten by preditors) needs his eyes placed toward the sides of the head for a wider field of vision. It is much harder to surprise and sneak up from behind as preditors usually do. This gives them an advantage that those hunting them do not possess. The hunter's eyes are placed toward the front of the head because when they hunt they are usually looking straight ahead in a straight line. In fact it is easy to tell from just a glance if the anmial is a prey animal or a preditor just by where the eyes are situated. The common domestic pets kept by humans are subject to this rule also. Dogs and cats have eyes on the fronts of their heads because they are hunters. Horses, cows and goats are prey animals with eyes toward the sides of their heads. Our eyes are on the front of our face allowing humans a straight-line vision to zoom in on our prey. Modern deer hunters use this method to hone in on male deer during hunting season, similar to our ancient ancestors with their spears.
