Most predators have forward facing eyes, while most prey have side mounted eyes. If you think about the animal behaviors of both prey and predators, you should be able to make connections between their eye placement and their necessities for survival. Most prey have side mounted eyes because it allows for a better depth perception and a wider field of view. This can help the animals keep watch while they graze in open fields. On the other hand, most predators have forward facing eyes because it allows them to focus in on prey while hunting and chasing.

Hope this helps. Good luck! :)

Without the outward centripetal force to counteract the inward pull of gravity, the Earth would begin falling towards the sun.
