Yes.An animals eyes can change throughout the day.Humans eyes do not do that.Animals eyesight is much much much more stronger than humans.We can see color,while some animals, like snakes cannot.Animals can see in the night like,cats,bats,and even some types of dogs can see in the night.We, the humans can't.so, the answer to your question is,Yes. Animals do indeed have better eyesight than us, humans.

Animals, in general do not have "better" eyesight, it just works very differently than ours and is much more specialized to their environments, while ours is more versatile. Also, no two animals' eyesight is the same.

Consider the nocturnal and subterranean animals who have little use for daylight. A mole, living underground, is completely blind. A bat, who sleeps during day and feeds at night, finds prey by sound, so it is almost totally blind. In general, nocturnal animals see better at night than they do during the day, and, other things being equal, they also see better in the dark than a human would. But humans have flashlights and night-vision goggles.

Dogs are often thought to be color blind. They are not. They just distinguish far fewer shades of color than humans do. Fish, it is believed, have monochromatic vision: they see everything pretty much in shades of black and white. If you want to feel totally superior to one class of animals, I would chose fish as the competition. They most likely do NOT have better eyesight than humans, by any measure.

A hawk soaring high in the sky can spot a moving field mouse that we would not see. But if you sat that same hawk in front of the monitor to read this text, he would only see black dots where you see letters. Could a hawk pas a 20/20 eyesight test in a optometrist's office? Probably not.

Add to that that most birds (as well as horses and most prey mammals) do not have binocular vision. That is to say, they cannot see the same object or scene with both eyes at once, they need to turn their head to see with one eye, than with the other. However, with its two eyes looking in opposite direction, a horse sees a much wider range of its surroundings than we do, which is why it is hard to sneak up on a horse or a pigeon. Some birds have a 360-degree field of view, while humans only have a 180-field of view. But binocular vision has great advantages: it allows us (as well as owls and most predatory mammals) to better judge distance to objects and to better detect faint objects.

So who has a "better" eyesight? Given a choice, I prefer my two eyes in the front of my face; and the eagle will probably stick with his.

yes - having one blue eye and one brown eye isn't a defect - it is part of many breeds, huskies, collies even dalmatians can have bi-eyes (the term for 1 blue eye 1 brown eye) and they can see just fine - one of my huskies actually has bi-eyes :)

A dog's eyesight is exceptionally better than a human's; and their senses of smell and hearing are even better.
