- Horsfield's tarsier. The Horsfield's Tarsier (Tarsius bancanus), also known as the western tarsier, is a relatively small primate species. They are furry with thin limbs, but what they lack in size they make up for in ability.
- Purple spot mantis shrimp. The purple spot mantis shrimp (Gonodactylus smithii) is a crustacean, which you may not think of as being very cute. Maybe not to everyone, but it is difficult to argue they aren't incredibly beautiful.
- Chameleon. There are more than 150 species of chameleon, mostly living in regions of Africa and Asia. They are well known for their ability to change color, something used as camouflage to evaded predators.
- Zebra back spider. The zebra back spider (Salticus scenicus) measures only about 7 millimeters in length, which makes it one of the smallest animals in the world.
- Colossal Squid. A distant cousin of the vampire squid has the largest eyes in the animal kingdom and possibly the largest that have ever existed. The colossal squid is an elusive monster, weighing over 500kg, despite having no skeleton.
- Vampire Squid. We’ll be staying in the deep for the remainder of this list because this is the darkest place on Earth, and as we’ve discovered, large eyes are an adaptation to dark environments.
- Swordfish. Swordfish eyes are not only huge but also heated. The musculature that originally evolved to swivel the eyeball has been adapted as a generator, allowing the eyeball to stay more than 10°C higher than the ambient temperature.
- Ostriches. Ostrich eyes are not nearly the best in the avian order, but they are some of the largest. Like the owls’, these bulbous orbs have evolved to be highly sensitive in the dark, and so they don’t have nearly the daylight resolution of, say, an eagle’s, but are great at spotting lions hiding in the bush at 3 am.
- Tarsier. Scientific Name: Tarsius spp. Type of Animal: Mammal. Where Found: Forests of Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, Borneo, and Sumatra. With eyes that are larger than their brains, tarsiers stand out as some of the most distinctive primates.
- Slow Loris. Scientific Name: Nycticebus spp. Type of Animal: Mammal. Where Found: Tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. Another nocturnal primate, the slow loris, captivates with its huge, round eyes, which give it an innocent appearance.
- Galago. Scientific Name: Galagidae family. Type of Animal: Mammal. Where Found: Forests and savannas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Galagos are small, agile primates with incredibly large, round eyes that glow in torchlight.
- Northern Saw-Whet Owl. Scientific Name: Aegolius acadicus. Type of Animal: Bird. Where Found: Forested areas across North America. Among the many species of owls, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is particularly adorable.
