Jumping spiders have eight pairs of eyes. They can see more colours than people. They can see ultraviolet light(紫外线), so they see things more clearly than people do.
Mice can move one eye in different directions(方向) while keeping the other eye still. So it is easy for them to see things. They can't see as many colours as people can. But it's not a problem for them because they come out at night. They are good at seeing bright light.
