Your EYE! If you reach up and feel around your eye, youll feel
the bone of your skull. Theres fat surrounding your eyeball to keep
it from bumping up against the bone and getting bruised. In the
cows eye dissection, we cut away all the fat and muscle so that we
can see the eyeball.

Cows = 4 muscles controlling their eyeball (they cant roll their
eyes like you can) So cows have to turn their heads to look
around!
