... that in mammals; peafowl exhibited a near-absence of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, which may partly result from the peafowl's ability to move their heads as quickly as their eyes. We analyzed the eye and head movements of 24 adult peafowl ( Pavo cristatus L.; 12 females and 12 males) using a telemetric eye...

... during walks and only intermittently during gallops, providing evidence that correctional head pitch rotations are not essential for gaze stabilization. Head-to-space pitch velocities were below 350 deg. s –1 , the threshold above which, at least among humans, the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) becomes...
