Eye eye

One of the quiz questions the other night was something along the lines of which animal has the largest eye. In fact, that was the question exactly. I suggested Blue Whale, the answer was in fact an 'orse. Or horse.

Had I only stumbled upon this passage from Moby Dick a few days sooner we might have got that question correct:

"If you narrowly search, you will at last see a lashless eye, which you would fancy to be a young colt's eye; so out of all proportion is it to the magnitude of the head."
