Shame that mammals are the most visible life on earth. We have bad vision and rely on smell. If Squamates or Archosaurs were in our place there'd be such sights to see.

Humans don't even have the benefit to enjoy how other mammals see the world as we fairly uniquely in mammals switched to a vision focused life.

Guess that is why we take such pleasure in bird watching.

"Dang that falcon has some swanky-ass eyes. As an eye enthusiast myself, I must admit I'm jealous."

@pastelbat i meant because birds are also big on visual displays so we appreciate them
