Edit: I mean, ah! I don't even know what ouseflies are EDIT 2: I MEAN NO, I'm not a big fan of flies so I'm probably the reason for their short life span and their "spare me" song.

@ashlinnhi Huh did not know that... Or more like didn't really think about that...

Did you know that cats have slit shaped pupils because they're ambush predators? A tiny pupil helps estimate distance because they deliver sharp images the brain can compare. But a large pupil can blur parts of the image and help determine distance. The slit shape pupil makes the best of both.

Sorry this fact is so long...
