116K views · 2.3K reactions | Eagles have a unique way of blinking using a nictitating membrane, a translucent third eyelid that moves horizontally across the eye. This membrane helps keep their eyes moist, clean, and protected while maintaining visibility. Unlike humans, who blink with their upper and lower eyelids, eagles primarily use this membrane to blink and shield their eyes, especially during flight, hunting, or high-speed dives. #reels #learn #explore | Explaining Everything | Facebook

Did you catch the third eyelid? 👀 The nictitating membrane is a transparent third eyelid that can be drawn across the eye to protect and moisten while maintaining visibility. Fun fact, nictitating membranes are found in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals but typically not primates. See this for yourself at our Center! We have tickets left to both of our flight demos on Friday, November 25, the day after Thanksgiving. Bring the whole family! https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/thecent

Some shark species possess an eye protection mechanism called the nictitating membrane! This inner eyelid covers the eye during feeding or in situations where the eye may become vulnerable to damage, like coming into close contact with my camera here. Not all sharks have this feature. For instance, great white sharks roll their eyes back during predation to protect them!

How many eyelids do chickens have? Three! The third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane, closes horizontally across the eye, as opposed to the others which close vertically like ours! This third eyelid helps keep the eyes clean, moist and protected from dirt - especially when dust bathing! You might catch it on photos - fully closed or halfway across! Making the eye look opaque! But it’s not opaque, it’s actually transparent! This allows chickens to see through this eyelid, even when it is c
