Is there a scientific reason for why goat eyes have weird rectangular pupils?

Yes, I posted a link to some discussion on that matter in one of your earlier threads.
Given that, and the rampant goat-posting, I doubt the sincerity of your query; you're an obvious shit-poster.

They're the animal of the devil.

I noticed some goat-related threads, is this a thing that's happening now? Goatposting?
>>
>>7670119
No, that's just how God created them.

This is probably the attempt of viral advertisement for a certain nonsensical goat-related game on steam.

These really are the most kawaii goates I've ever seen, no other picture gets even close.

As a person who came here for and answer, was disappointed, and then looked it up
>goats tend to live in rocky, mountainous areas
>when on steep slopes as they generally are, there is little risk of predators attacking from above or below
>this means most of the danger comes from the same level as them, when they're on flat ground
>horizontally rectangular pupils give them the largest possible FOV to see predators attacking from any direction
Tl;dr they're herd animals and don't need much depth perception

I don't know, just google it, you'll find more sane answers than here it seems.
