Rectangular Pupils

Goats and sheep have the strangest rectangular pupils in their eyes and this spring lamb is no exception. It's a bit unnerving when one looks you straight in the eye. I had no idea why but apparently, they have much winder peripheral vision then creatures with round pupils. That's handy, I suppose, when you are the one on the menu for any predators lurking nearby.
