Trivia: Camel Has 3 Eyelids

By Alex in Animals & Pets, Daily Trivia on Jan 11, 2008 at 12:32 pm

Camels have three eyelids to protect their eyes from blowing sand.

Two of the eyelids (the upper and lower eyelids) have eyelashes. The third one is a thin membrane that they can see through in a sandstorm. Actually, cats and dogs also have three eyelids. No words whether they can see in a sandstorm.
