Generally if an animal is staring at another, and especially an omnivorous or carnivorous animal, it's planning to prey. This is why friendly dogs who meet do a head-to-butt, and why a dog who loves you squints his eyes. Eyes open wide is a predation/murderous gaze in people, too. Just look at James Holmes.
