act Iike human lids and keep out twigs,dirt and sand.The third eyelid,however,is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the insied corner to the outside corher.Because of this protective membrane,birds seldom have to blink.They close theireyes only when they go to sleep.In ducks,this third eyelid self as an underwater divingmask that helps the ducks find food.
Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all.Instead,a hard glassy covering protects
their eyes.In fish,water constantly sweeps sway dirt from the covering.And a snake’s eyesight is usuallyso bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.
