Do snakes have eyelashes?
As a matter of fact, snakes don't
have eyelashes; they don't even
have eyelids! So, what keeps their
eyes from getting dirty as they
slither around in the sand? Snakes
have see-through scales called
spectacles, which are like windows
covering their eyes. That's why
they look as if they're trying to
hypnotize us - they can't blink! So,
when snakes shed their skin, they
shed their spectacles at the same
time.
