Preferred term

animal depth perception  

Definition

  • Cats jump onto tables, horses jump over fences, birds land on window ledges, and chameleons can pick insects out of the air with their long tongues. All of these behaviors, and any others that involve moving around in an environment, require the ability to judge depth and distance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Animal Depth Perception]
