  1. Answer: The predators (like lions) have their eyes facing forward at the front of their heads so as to detect and focus on the prey, whereas the prey (like rabbit) usually have eyes at the sides of their head so that they can see their enemies (predators) in a very large area around them and try to escape from them.
