The Giant Squid Has The Largest Eyes In The World
Doodlebrary
- The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) has the largest eyes of any known animal on Earth.
- These enormous eyes can measure up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) or more in diameter.
- The size of the giant squid’s eyes is an adaptation to its deep-sea habitat where very little light penetrates.
- Having such large eyes helps the squid detect and capture prey in the dimly lit depths of the ocean.
- It’s believed that the giant squid primarily relies on its keen sense of vision to hunt and navigate in its dark environment.
