True or False. Cattle have 360-degree vision.

True
False
Only in low light
Only in daylight

The correct answer is: False

Cattle have a unique physiological adaptation that allows them to see a wide field around them; however, they do not possess true 360-degree vision. Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads, which enables them to have a broad peripheral vision. This layout allows cattle to see more than a 270-degree field of view without turning their heads. However, they do have limitations in their vision due to a blind spot directly in front of them and another behind their heads, which means they cannot see clearly in all directions simultaneously. Furthermore, their vision is affected by light conditions, and while they have good night vision due to their eye structure, this does not contribute to them having 360-degree vision. This understanding highlights the anatomy and adaptation of cattle, summarizing why the assertion of them having panoramic vision is a misunderstanding of their visual capabilities.
