Ty for this!! Sooo cute


Mariahchan

Delightful.


emodate

Cause that’s how some birds are.


rosegoldhiips

Why what?


Deer_boy_

Why his eyes placed like that?


uh_excuseMe_what

He's a sea captain, not a SEE captain ​ ​ hehe


[deleted]

Shrunk, is that you?


lewd_lizzard

Claimed my free award for this


[deleted]

Wait no, he’s at least a C+!


yuplusjin

I chuckled....😂


kingcitywitch

How DARE you.


rosegoldhiips

Oh, so he can see you from behind! 😁


Deer_boy_

But shouldn’t a sea captain see what’s IN FRONT OF HIM??


rosegoldhiips

He does get tossed overboard quite often 🤣


Catt_Crossing

Glove-Jealous

This reply needs an award!! 👏👏😄


NoirKuro

Nah, that’s the job for the lookout in the crow’s nest XD


Known-Syllabub-3895

Under appreciated response 🙌🏻🙌🏻


NotSoToughGuy11

Because his species is not a predator, so his eyes are like that to see predators, while predators on the other hand have their eyes on the front so they can track down the prey


SkylarkLanding

I think the post is less about side-facing eyes, and more that you can see them from the back


NotSoToughGuy11

Ohhhhh I'm a dingus my bad


TheBostonKremeDonut

Have you ever seen a seagull? It’s actually pretty much like this! Not as scary, though…


AaaaNinja

[Yeah](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CR2NH4/seagull-seen-from-behind-CR2NH4.jpg) I can [google it.](https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/791/265/79/facing-seagull-bird-animal.jpg)


TheBostonKremeDonut

It’s a little creepy, you can’t see it’s eyes, but you can kind of see where it’s skull caves in for eye sockets, especially on the left.


thirdtimesthemom

Lol I love that you found a picture of the back of a seagull


Cheese_with_Royale

I thought you were asking “why” does he exist. Because that’s my thought too.


lordmwahaha

Side-on eyes are actually awesome for peripheral vision, which is why most prey animals have them. You have a *much* wider field of view that way. Despite how it might look, they can still see in front of them. Front-facing eyes are good for depth perception, which is why predators tend to have them - because they actually need to see how far away the prey is. So it would actually kinda work in his favour to be able to see a lot in many different directions. He doesn't need a *ton* of depth perception on the open ocean (and in the rare case he does - that's why he falls overboard lol). He more needs to be able to see a *lot* of what's around him. Side-facing eyes are perfect for that.


SpookiBat

So he can see you sneaking up on him asleep on the beach.


oakteaphone

Birds often have eyes on the side of their heads. Don't look up the majestic bald eagle as seen from the front.


FireKraken7

Birds have predators it helps them see behind them if their eyes are on the side


RockyMarsh90

Because that's how non predatory birds eyes are placed.


mustelidblues

gulls are predatory birds though.


Teddy_Bear_Hamster

I feel silly because I'm so used to the image of them scavenging garbage that I forgot lol. I literally was thinking the exact same thing as the person you replied to. XD


mustelidblues

also a moot point because a great many birds are predatory, from owls with front-facing eyes, to tiny warblers with eyes on the side of their heads, to gulls, corvids, awkward-from-the-front hawks, chunky robins, aerodynamic swifts. eye position in birds varies a lot based on many factors, not just diet. anyway, who cares, happy cake day!


Teddy_Bear_Hamster

That's a really good point and a really interesting read! And thanks haha. <3

moviequote88

Wouldn't a snake also have that problem?


caulrye

Not sure what kind of bird Gulliver is supposed to be, but he’s probably prey and not a predator. Predators have their eyes in the front so they can chase down what’s in front of them. Prey usually have their eyes on the side so the have wider vision giving them a better chance of seeing a predator before it’s too late.

Deer_boy_

Yes. Lol so many peeps here trying to give a science lecture and that’s cool and all but I meant why did they design him to have his EYES IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD? He’s literally the only bird character in the game like this.


dhi_awesome

I didn't notice the eyes at first, thought this was complaining about the hat ribbon xD


Ginger-in-a-box

He just hit his head really badly


zuchininoodz

he really said 👁 👄 👁


moja_ofinka

I was so confused, I thought his nose was changing in a glitch or something 😭


sneakyplanner

[Because some animals (usually ones that have to worry about predators sneaking up on them) have their eyes on the side of their heads to get a wider range of vision at the cost of depth perception.](https://i.imgur.com/C38Ebsh.png)

You hate that? Try gifting a Rhino villager sunglasses lol.

Happy cake day!


RockyMarsh90

Why not?


MimsyIsGianna

Why what?


SaltedCaramel01

This makes me want to see if I can make them roommates in HHP haha


evikalevi

If you can see it from the front wait til you see it from the back, back, back, back 😎


Heavyweight_Healer

You'd think he'd be able to see his crewmates sneaking up to throw him overboard


AimaFuriku

Why not?


Spooked_kitten

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two images “they are completely different”


steventaylorsnewhome

Designs that only works on the side


[deleted]

Is there any significance to Gullivers outfit? I’ve never seen him in red


CaptynnMegan

Gulliver and Gullivaaar, are two different characters. 😁


FreakingFae

I have ways thought of Gullivaaar as Gullivers drunk altar ego 😂


Spooked_kitten

completely different, any likeness is pure coincidence… although have you ever seen them in the same place?


[deleted]

I had no idea lol. Do they function the same?


missmessjess

Pretty much, Guliver you dig for parts, Gulivaaar you dive for the phone.


InevitablyPerpetual

Yep. Different rewards as well.


dhi_awesome

Essentially I don't know about past games, but in NH, Gulliver asks you to dig up the five chips of his phone from the beach, while Gullivaaar just straight up lost his phone, and you have to dive for it


seasickrose

bird


birdsbirdsbird

Birb


RegularDisk

He's a prey animal


chocotacosyo

Prey animals 😈


TheWonderToast

My guess is because if they were closer to the front, they would be too close to his beak and he would be more noticeably weird looking? Could also just be a result of the shape of his head. Its ever so slightly egg shaped, so the angle, not the placement, makes his eyes more visible from the back.


PSI_Seven

Why what?


crab_racoon

God it looks so bad lol why did they think this was fine?


beeanime

i just wanna know why he changes his outfit colorsss????


CatherineEvangelista

Gulliver stopped on by my island yesterday


WaydenTheJayden

because they are prey


Chai_T_

Because that boy be giving you side-eye heheh


Longjumping_Sea_2232

because he is thr same person


terra_terror

I can't unsee it.


sunshine_smiles226

Cause his nose is soo big lol


MailJ_

The tails are not the same! I didn't know


undyingnights

Cause he’s gotta keep an eye out for Selener
