On a somewhat related topic, I was reading something my son received
about animals.  They had two classifications, animals that feed and
animals that are food.  The interesting distinction is that animals that
feed have their eyes in the front of their head (lions, tigers, bears,
bobcats, etc...) and that animals that are food have their eyes on the
side of their heads (chickens, deer, etc...).  The theory is that the
feeders can better see 3D to hunt their prey while the food need to see
in a wider arc around them to alert them to prowlers.
