How do rabbits see?
The position of the eyes on the muzzle is very far back and results in a binocular vision of 341° (170.5° for each eye), compared to 180° in humans. The visual field of rabbits is therefore very wide but less efficient, compared to the human eye, in distinguishing depths.
Their distant vision is excellent, while up close it is poor, with a blind spot in front of the nose.
Rabbits are eight times more sensitive to light than humans, allowing them to see well in low-light conditions, such as at dusk (when they are very active) and inside underground burrows and tunnels.
