Their retinas contain approximately 1 million photoreceptors per square millimeter and a human retina contains about 200,000 in the same amount of space. Every photoreceptor has a nerve connecting it to the hawk&#8217;s brain. Additionally, their eyes have special magnification properties. This is why hawks, as birds of prey, are able to see small animals from great heights.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>&#8220;The body of the Octopus, or Two-spot Octopus, is covered with chromatophores that allow it to blend in with any background by changing color. The name &#8220;Two-spot&#8221; comes from the conspicuous spots below each eye. Unlike most animals, the Octopus has a rectangular pupil. It usually comes out at night to feed on small invertebrates or sleeping fish. It uses its eight tentacles to bring the catch to its beak-like mouth.&#8221;<br />
