Why do our eyes look so different to that of a birds or a crabs or even other mammals? Is it due to them being used for different things? Or is it to do with the position of them in our head or something?

Hi 🙂
With circular pupils you get a crisp image, from an optical standpoint.
With longer, horizontal pupils, you can see approaching predators better.
With longer, vertical pupils, you get a mix of more light as they can get bigger, some better perception of depth… Especially when sneaking low to the ground. Ideal for hunting 🙂
