Why are their eyes on top of their heads?

I never read that book, or talked about it, or anything, because I am with the whales. They didn’t stop killing them until like the 1980s or something, excepting the Japanese, the Norwegians, and Icelanders, also some indigenous groups but they are on a smaller scale. In the Pacific Northwest the natives have to take a whale every so often or lose their treaty rights to do so.
