Gimbal in Nature 😊
Because hawks' pupils cannot move like humans, they focus on the whole of their heads. It's like the point you look at with your eyes does not change while you turn your head to the right or left.
In this way, hawks stay suspended in the air and focus on their prey. And they don't miss their prey from eye tracking while hanging out against the wind even in sudden jolts.
This is fascinating!
Nature is remarkable.
“Natural selection builds mechanisms that human engineers still struggle to match.
The neural structures underpinning head stabilization in this hawk.
Head stabilization has the same function as image stabilization in cameras: to maintain a steady view despite motion.
