Why do animal eyes have pupils of different shapes?

Des chercheurs expliquent que, généralement, les pupilles d'animaux sont :
– verticales chez les prédateurs, améliorant leur vue lointaine,

Just a map of the Mediterranean but tilted by 90 degrees. It somehow makes the Mediterranean Sea look even smaller. So confusing to look at! Source: https://t.co/vMQlQXzQoW pic.twitter.com/fIPR7kkok3

The first photo is 4K×4K, so you should be able to zoom in. But I've attached some detail photos of that section, which I think is the data path and registers. Let me know if there's anything specific you want to see. pic.twitter.com/4wKkrHDS83
