Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
So then! Since the episode has settled down and i like talking biology...
>MLP Ponies have eyes looking in front of them
>RL Ponies (and other horses) have eyes on the sides of their head.
>Forward-looking vision is a common trait of predatory animals, as it allows them to keep an eye on their target during the chase.
>Side-looking vision is a common trait of herbivore animals, as it allows a wider field of vision to spot predators.
Thusly, my question to you.
>MLP Ponies with forward facing eyes, an attempt to make cartoon horses more relatable by making them that much more human-like? Or long-forgotten predatory ancestors that made the transition to vegetarianism for some reason?
Discuss.
