#1: How Dolphins See Us
Have you ever wondered how dolphins or other sea creatures – or animals – see us humans? Dolphins have remarkable visual acuity both in and out of the water. Their eyes are well-adapted to underwater conditions, allowing them to see clearly beneath the surface. Their eyes’ position on the sides of their heads provides them with a large field of vision.
Their eyes contain specialized lenses that adjust to varying light levels underwater, ensuring clear vision at different depths.
