Document Summary
Some can come for monocular cues one eye can create some aspects of depth. Some can come from binocular cues both eyes can create some aspects of depth. Binocular are more precise than monocular: to have binocular cues, eyes have to point in the same direction. For a rabbit, their eyes are on the side of their head, so there is little overlap of the visual field. For a human, our eyes are in the front, so we have a large overlap of the visual field: humans have better depth perception than rabbits. Prey tend to have eyes on the sides of their head, to be able to scan as much of the visual field as possible. Cues you see in pictures and can see with one eye. Some tell us relative distance comparison between two objects in the field. Some tell us absolute distance comparison between you and the object.
