The chameleon is famous for this. Researchers claim that this lizard, certainly among vertebrates is unique in this regard.
They (chameleons, not researchers!) are able to switch between synchronised and non-synchronised eye movements. This means that they can focus on two different objects in two different, and even opposite, directions.
When they find suitable prey, they synchronise their eyes and move in for the kill! Don't be frightened! They only eat flies and other tasty insects!
