A sudden, terrifying thought
When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.
If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.
Now look at this dragon.
See those eyes?
They’re to the SIDE.
This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.
What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…
As PREY?
I know this isn’t part of my blogs theme but like this is interesting

The eyes-in-the-front thing (usually) only applies to mammals. Crocodiles, arguably the inspiration for dragons, have eyes that look to the sides despite being a predator.
hey what up I’m about to be That Asshole
This isn’t a mammalian thing. When people talk about ‘eyes on the front’ or ‘eyes on the side,’ they’re really talking about binocular vision vs monocular vision. Binocular vision is more advantageous for predators because it’s what gives you depth perception; i.e, the distance you need to leap, lunge, or swipe to take out the fast-moving thing in front of you. Any animal that can position its eyes in a way that it has overlapping fields of vision has binocular vision. That includes a lot of predatory reptiles, including komodo dragons, monitor lizards, and chameleons.
(The eyes-in-front = predator / eyes-on-sides = prey thing holds true far more regularly for birds than it does for mammals. Consider owls, hawks, and falcons vs parrots, sparrows, and doves.)
But it’s not like binocular vision is inherently “better” than monocular vision. It’s a trade-off: you get better at leap-strike-kill, but your field of vision is commensurately restricted, meaning you see less stuff. Sometimes, the evolutionary benefit of binocular vision just doesn’t outweigh the benefit of seeing the other guy coming. Very few forms of aquatic life have binocular vision unless they have eye stalks, predator or not, because if you live underwater, the threat could be coming from literally any direction, so you want as wide a field of view as you can get. If you see a predator working monocular vision, it’s a pretty safe assumption that there is something else out there dangerous enough that their survival is aided more by knowing where it is than reliably getting food inside their mouths.
For example, if you are a crocodile, there is a decent chance that a hippo will cruise up your shit and bite you in half. I’d say that makes monocular vision worthwhile.
Which brings us back to OP’s point. Why would dragon evolution favor field of view over depth perception?
A lot of the stories I’ve read painted the biggest threats to dragons (until knights with little shiny sticks came along) as other dragons. Dragons fight each other, dragons have wars. And like fish, a dragon would need to worry about another dragon coming in from any angle. That’s a major point in favor of monocular vision. Moreover, you don’t need depth perception in order to hunt if you can breathe fucking fire. A flamethrower is not a precision weapon. If you can torch everything in front of you, who cares if your prey is 5 feet away or 20? Burn it all and sift among the rubble for meat once everything stops moving.
Really, why would dragons have eyes on the front of their heads? Seems like they’ve got the right idea to me.
this is some good dragon discourse right here, 10/10, and i dont mean to derail the whole thing away from the eyes, but i feel obligated to mention that in many stories and accurate to some reptiles, dragons have an extremely acute sense of smell/taste which would definitely help narrow down the depth perception issue. things smell stronger the closer they are. and i feel like i read somewhere that a blind snake can flick the air with its tongue and track its target mouse with no trouble at all. gotta imagine the “great serpents of the sky” had some pretty advanced biology. enough to make field of view win out against depth perception.
anywho. cool stuff. fear the dragons even if they are the prey cause they still beat us on the food chain.
“A flamethrower is not a precision weapon. If you can torch everything in front of you, who cares if your prey is 5 feet away or 20? Burn it all and sift among the rubble for meat once everything stops moving.”
Hi hello, friendly neighborhood dragon nerd here just jumping in on the discourse. This post has always bothered me for a myriad of reasons but I’m here to rain on everyone’s parades and talk about why all these dragons ABSOLUTELY have binocular vision, and do not have cow-like herbivore eyes.
The main thing everyone seems to be talking about here is where the eyes are positioned on the head, not how the eye is set in the socket, which is very important! Absolutely every single one of those dragons presented in drawings have forward facing eyes to some degree.
To be my visual aid, we’re going to use my good friend, the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
(hello everyone pleasure to be here)
Now the first thing you’ll notice here is the fact that our good pal T. Rex’s eyes are oriented a great deal like all the dragons eyes in the artwork above! But that absolutely does not mean this creature had sideways facing eyes, or lacked binocular vision. In fact, T. Rex is famous for having a SUPERB field of binocular vision. How, you ask?
Because despite being set in a way that looks rather sideways when viewed in profile, the eyes of the T. rex actually face forward together, and create an overlapping field of view. The same can be said for all of the dragons above, despite not having their eyes as close together as say, a wolf, they are still ABSOLUTELY oriented for this type of vision.
So lets take a look at one of the more famous dragons depicted in this post, Mr. Smaug. (And the one with readily available alternative poses.)
(yes greetings, pleasure to be here as well)
So, here he is, what do we do if we turn him from profile view, to a full front on…?
Boom.
Smaug ABSOLUTELY has some form of binocular vision from the way his eyes are positioned in his skull. The exact field of view is up for debate, because this varies greatly from creature to creature, but Smaug most certainly has some form of depth perception.
So in conclusion, you shouldn’t judge a creature drawn primarily in profile for having eyes on the sides of its head. Thank u for coming to my TED talk.

THAT’S how you make lace??
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries.. It was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.
Mechanically-produced lace wasn’t really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality of mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
