    Do all goats have the same type of eyes, that is what they call "devils eyes" - like just a line in the eye?

    or are there any goat species that have normal eyes?

    They're normal eyes for goats!

    Round eyes are for predators who focus on a prey animal.

    The shape of a goat's eye gives it a wider field of vision to detect things like predators.

    cows and horses have round eyes, no?


    so, all goats have (lets just say) "strange" eyes?

    They do. You get used to it when you get to know one better. I believe it lets them see better in the dark too.
