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.
