"The development of this strange molluscan eye has gone even further
in the highly mobile squid. All the oceanic squids have a complex eye
with an iris, a variable-focus lens, and a retina with enough sensitive
cells to make their color and pattern discrimination every bit as good
as our own. Squid see as well as, if not better than, any other animals
alive--or at least, their eyes have the capacity for doing so. This is
uncanny, but what really worries me is what they do with so much
information."
Lyall Watson, Gift of Unknown Things.
