You responded "When it comes to size of eyes, you are partly correct.  The horse has
the largest eye of land mammals (50mm x 30mm).  However, the largest 
eye belongs to the blue whale (145mm x 130mm), about the size of a 
grapefruit.  The largest bird eye belongs to the ostrich (50mm x 50mm),
bigger than that of an average horse." No argument, but

My memory of Nature Movies, et al., is that Squid also 
have very large eyes. Where do they fit in ?
