Small predatory animals, like lizards, cats, and foxes, have slit pupils to see high and low for hunting. Mid sized, vegetarian animals that live on the plains have horizontal pupils on the sides of their heads to keep watch, such as goats and horses. Octopuses are the exception, being predatory and underwater. Most other animals have round pupils.
