    whales and dolphins are mammals, and they have eyes on the side. Don’t think anything preys on them (at least for the full-grown ones, pretty sure baby whales are preyed on)

      Sperm whales are apex(orcas will target calves but they stay the hell away from bulls) but they don’t hunt their monstrous cephalopod prey(which in any sane ecosystem would be apex themselves) with eyes.
