"Pupil shape also helps ferrets see well in low-light conditions. Unlike humans, who have round pupils, ferrets have slit pupils. This enhances edge detection and makes objects more visible in poor light. Cats, too, have slit pupils, but theirs are slit vertically, while ferrets' are slit horizontally."
Also; didn't know that marten irises were rectangular. That's pretty neat.
Also, also; I linked that video on Mad's homepage. Its there on the shouts. Don't pretend you (whomever you are) found this video yourself

Also I meant pupil, not iris. Getting my eye anatomy all messed up.
