As a token of my appreciation allow me to share a camel fact with you LOL. Did you know a camel has a Transparent eyelid to help keep out sand and dust... Technology
Dogs have 3 eyelids too I think. Pretty sure I heard that once. h/o...
Yep. Hmph. Learned something I didn't know.
---------------------------------------
In dogs, the nictitating membrane is located under the lower eyelid on the inner corner of the eye. Also called the haw or inner eyelid, a dog’s third eyelid has three parts:
The thin protective membrane called the conjunctiva
A T-shaped cartilage that forms a firm connective tissue
A tear gland held in place by the T-shaped cartilage
A dog’s third eyelid extends across the eye to:
Protect the eyes from scratches, especially if the dog is walking or running through brush or somewhere the eye may get scratched
Keep the eyes moist by spreading tears across the eyeball. The nictitating membrane produces 50% of a dog’s tears
Remove debris from the eye
The third eyelid isn’t visible in healthy, alert dogs unless the dog is sleeping or suddenly wakes up. Even though it’s hidden, the third eyelid plays an important part in keeping a dog’s eyes healthy and functional.
