The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without a hitch The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae – areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions One foveae permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time This is called monocular vision Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture Known as “bug detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes responds mainly to moving objects So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and would starve
The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of reference Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun A bee’s eye also gauges flight speed And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision” paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light Thus, what humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species However, there is still much to be said for the human eye Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision

The primary function of national parks is conservation In many cases, it is a matter of national pride for countries to protect their indigenous species Although several nations considered opening national parks, the US was the first country to officially so when Yellowstone Park opened in 1872 This designation made the federal government responsible for taking care of the territory Soon after, national parks started to open in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and eventually across the globe Today, almost 100 countries have established their own national parks In total, there are over 6,500 worldwide
