Colossal Squid

One of the best animals that have the largest eyes is the colossal squid. It can be found in Antarctica's deepest seas. Aside from its eyes, the creature has other distinguishing features, such as being the world's biggest invertebrate. It's even bigger than the largest whale in the animal kingdom. (Fights with the enormous squid have left scars on Sperm whales in the squid's territory.) The enormous squid's eyes are oriented forward to provide optimum distance sighting. They can see food and predators in the dim light of the deep. A soccer ball is roughly the size of each eye.

The ability to see is critical for a giant squid. They utilize their eyes to see and catch prey, as well as to keep an eye out for predators and to communicate with one another. The colossal squid is well equipped for living in the dark depths of the Southern Ocean, with large eyes and built-in lamps. The eyes of the enormous squid are positioned such that they face forward, providing it binocular, or stereoscopic, vision. The enormous squid, on the other hand, has eyes on both sides of its head. It has front and backward eyesight to identify predators but lacks the binocular vision to estimate distances.
