importance of responses to stimuli in animals
Human and animals have pair of eyes
in front of their head
Human and animals have pair of eyes in front of their head have vision called
Stereoscopic vision
Animals like my guinea pig have pair of eyes located on
opposite sides of their head
My guinea pig have vision called
monocular vision
Stereoscopic vision have a
narrow field vision
Monocular vision have a
wide field vision
Animals with stereoscopic fields of vision overlap
- to a great extent
- their vision overlaps to produce vision in three dimensions
Animals with monocular fields of vision
do not overlap , it only overlaps slightly
What dimensional form is stereoscopic vision
1.Three dimensional images
2. overlapping fields of vision allow the distance , size and depth of objects to be estimated
What dimensional form is monocular vision
- Two dimensional image
- form in non overlapping fields of vision to prevent distance , size and depth of object from being estimated accurately
Having stereoscopic vision for hunting
gives the ability to estimate the distance accurately and helps to hunt the animal / prey
Having monocular vision for prey animals
helps prey animals with wide vision detect their enemies coming from any directions
Stereophonic hearing is
- hearing with both ears
- being able to determine the direction of sound accurately
The importance of stereophonic hearing to humans is
to determine the location of a source of sound
The importance of stereophonic hearing towards predators
to determine the location of its prey
The importance of stereophonic hearing towards prey
determine the location of the predators and escape quick
