I thought that the colour depended on the angle the light entered the animal eyes! :?:

I've never heard of determining the age by the colour of the eyes. AFAIK the angle does affect it. All jackal eyes I've seen over the years are sorta orangish/yellowish/reddish. As do the eyes of other nocturnal animals. And diurnal animals' eyes show green if I remember correctly?
