Through the eyes of Tigers

1. Tigers have forward facing eyes rather than one on each side of their head. This provides binocular vision easy for their environment and hunting prey.
2. Tigers have amazing vision in darkness where colour vision would not be useful. They have a structure behind the retina which lets them see better at night, they allow the eyes to glow when a light is shone on them.
3. Tiger eyes have large lenses and pupils that increase the amount of light let into the eye. This characteristic helps the tiger with night vision and when there are low light levels available.
4. Cats in general are capable of seeing the colors green, blue and possibly red, just in less saturation or strength than we see them. 
5. The upper and lower eyelids that protect the eye, cats and other animals have a nictitating membrane on each eye that helps keep it moist and removes dust from the surface. 
6. In general cats require only about 1/6 the light humans do to see.

I am researching in to animals eyes and how they see and how their eyesight effects them. My projects enables me to see animal cruelty through the eyes of animals so i need to gain a better understanding of how they see and perceive the world.

Accurate studies show how cats eyes see the world, day and night and its interesting. it shows we have a clearer vision when more light is projected into our eyes but cats eyes have better vision when less light is projected into their eyes. Its fascinating and opens up a lot more possibilities and approaches of how i can tackle my final piece of my project.
