This is the typical adaptation of the cat family. Forward facing eyes give cats binocular vision, to locate prey, and the short face gives them powerful bite force, to kill their victims.
owls for starts, but monkeys, dogs, cats, and humans also have forward facing eyes. but the list could be continued and i encourage people to add to the list.
They drink milk from their mother.
Polar bears have dark brown eyes.Their eyes are quite close together and face forwards.
No, the eye of a raccoon (or any other animal, for that matter) does not glow in the night. It's an optical trick that makes the eyes of animals appear to glow in the dark, and it's related to the method used to photo graph them. See the related question below for more information.

The own is believed to be an animal that is very intelligent and has eyes that face forward. This is a nocturnal bird that is often associated with bad omens.
Raccoons have a yellow eyeshine.
Raccoons have marks around their eyes. It's just a natural thing to happen. If you have brown hair, that's just like saying "Why do you have brown hair?" Or "Why do you have eyes?" But robbers/burgalars have a mask around their eyes to imitate raccoons. Raccoons steal things out of people garbages. There's no REAL reason why raccoons have the marks around their eyes.
Eyes front IS an adaptation. Better eyesight for hunters. Prey often have eyes side and that gives them better defense.
This is the typical adaptation of the cat family. Forward facing eyes give cats binocular vision, to locate prey, and the short face gives them powerful bite force, to kill their victims.
If the eyes face forward, this means a predator. If they are on the sides of the head, this means prey.

Raccoons are, overall, a grayish color but with tinges of brown or red and have black and white markings on the face.
Predatory animals have forward facing eyes so they can better focus on their prey. Prey animals have their eyes to the sides to give them a broader field of view so that predators can't easily sneak up on them.
The owl is nocturnal and has forward facing eyes a few examples of species of owl are:Barn owl.Scops owl.Eagle owl.Long eared owl.Short eared owl.Burrowing owl.Great Grey owl.
Having eyes that face forward allows for good depth perception. Most monkeys are tree dwellers, so having good depth perception would be important when reaching for branches.
