A few interesting facts about the eye of the ostrich: their eyes are bigger than their brains, their eyes are the largest of any land animal, their eyes are on the sides of the heads, they have great vision despite the fact their eyes can’t move around in their eye sockets. And as this photo illustrates, their eyes are visible even if they are looking in the complete opposite direction. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 140, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second.
