Geocache Description:


Welcome to the GEO-EYE SERIES!

This series consists of 45 puzzle caches.  We incorporated various difficulty levels.  All the caches that form the PUPIL of the eye (P1 to P6) will be the harder ones.  The IRIS caches (I01 to I16) will be of intermediate difficulty, and the EYE outline (E01 to E23) will be easy ones.
And then to collect the smilies, we recommend high clearance vehicles.  Especially during the rainy season, as the roads can get very muddy.  But then again, that is part of all the fun!
Each puzzle will start with an eye fact, followed by the puzzle.  There might be clues hidden in the eye fact :-)

EYE FACT


Revealed: why animals’ pupils come in different shapes and sizes


Wolves and foxes are closely related and share many of the same characteristics. But look at their eyes – where wolves have rounded pupils like humans, foxes instead have a thin vertical line. But it isn’t just canines –across the animal kingdom, pupils come in all shapes and sizes. So why the differences?

 

Goats, sheep, horses, domestic cats, and numerous other animals have pupils which vary from fully circular in faint light to narrow slits or rectangles in bright light. The established theory for this is that elongated pupils allow greater control of the amount of light entering the eye. For instance, a domestic cat can change its pupil area by a factor of 135 from fully dilated to fully constricted, whereas humans, with a round pupil, can only change area by a factor of 15. This is particularly useful for animals that are active both day and night, allowing for much better vision in low light conditions.
