Pigs

The average eye diameter of a domestic pig is around 2.5 cm. They have poor vision, and can only see things close to them.

American Shrew Moles

These animals are eyes so small they are practically invisible. The skin surrounding the eyes also make it difficult to see them.

Snakes

Bachia Lizards

These slimy creatures, resembling a snake, also have tiny eyes.
