Episode Guide

EPISODE 9 — THE EAGLE'S VIEW (SIGHT)

In this episode of Corwin's Quest, Jeff explores how animals use sight to avoid predators, pinpoint prey and navigate their surroundings. His main quest is to locate a golden eagle in the wilds of Scotland and put its pre-eminent eyesight to the test. Does this avian predator really have the sharpest eyes of any bird?

Along the way Jeff encounters various critters, including a spitting cobra that nearly turns the lights out for our intrepid host.

But that's not all. In a series of side quests, Jeff gazes deeply into the giant eyes of a giraffe, demonstrates how rattlesnakes see in complete darkness and meets a swivel-eyed Jackson's chameleon.
