While it may look like a Capybara would have trouble seeing things directly in front of it, capys actually have a strong field of vision. Their lateral eye placement grants them near-panoramic sight.

Or, put another way, they can still see people who are right in front of them, even though the capy’s eyes are on the side of its head!

The CapyTube Merch Store Proudly Presents:

Did You Know…

Capybaras aren’t the only animals with a great field of view.

Because of the location of their eyes, cows can see about 330° around them without moving their heads.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
