Why camels have 3 eyelids on their eyes?

The camel is one of the few creatures created by Allah that uniquely adapted to survive in some of the harshest environments on earth.

Camels do not have one or two, but three eyelids.

The third transparent lid called a nictitating membrane helps keep out sand and dust. It can even improve vision, like a contact lens.

Many animals, including dogs, cats, sharks, and some birds and amphibians, also have third eyelids.

The third eyelid is useful during sandstorms or when they encounter blowing sand.

This feature is essential for the camel’s survival in harsh desert conditions.
