 | | Many complex organisms including some mammals, birds, reptiles and fish have two eyes which may be placed on the same plane to be interpreted as a single three-dimensional "image" (binocular vision), as in humans; or on different planes producing two separate "images" (monocular vision), such as in rabbits and chameleons. | | | The differences are useful; apart from enabling sight in both dim and light conditions, humans have given them further application. | | | This is why the darker conditions become, the less colour objects seem to have. |
