The sight of the hare is not keen for several
						reasons. The eyes are prominent; the lids are too small and do not give
						protection to the pupils; consequently the vision is weak and blurred. Added to this, though the animal spends much time asleep, it gets no benefit
						from that, so far as seeing goes. Its speed, too, accounts in no small
						degree for its dim sight. For it glances at an object and is past it in a
						flash, before realising its nature.
