No three sixties as they would twist their spinal cord into knots. They can almost turn their head though about 350 degrees, though. Thus, they can see behind them.

Owl VS Fly VS Chameleon. They all can see 360° in their own distinct way. Who wins?

If they turned their head thru 350° they would be looking to the front do you mean 180° ?
