Nearly All Around, but Not a Full Circle

A rabbit’s eyes sit high and to the sides of its head, giving it a very wide field of view—nearly 360 degrees. But “nearly” matters: a small blind spot remains right in front of the nose, so a rabbit cannot see what is directly beneath its mouth and relies on smell and touch. The illustration is AI-generated.

original AI-generated natural-history illustration of a rabbit in a meadow, emphasizing the lateral eye placement. Created 2026-10-13 with the image-generation tool from the prompt: “Create a warm, scientifically plausible natural-history illustration of a European rabbit alert in a meadow, head turned slightly to show the eyes positioned high on the sides of the head and the surrounding open field. Convey panoramic awareness without arrows, labels, a human-view perspective diagram, or an impossible visual field. Rabbit anatomy accurate, soft morning light, painterly science-magazine style, clearly an illustration not a photo, no text or watermark, horizontal 3:2 composition.” Synthetic illustration; not documentary evidence. No third-party license or attribution applies.
