Long camel eyelashes

We saw a couple of camels on the weekend visit to the wildlife park and there were some facts written down - including the fact that they have long eye lashes and often have 2 to 3 layers of them. This is apparently to prevent the desert sand from entering their eyes. When I had a closer look, it was very noticeable. I'm not sure if you can make it out in the picture. Quite interesting!

I think this is how their eyes can avoid the sands when they are walking in the desert.

Those eyelashes are certainly long. Kangaroos have long eyelashes too.

Wow! I've not noticed them. I'll review some of the pics to see that or try to observe the next time I see one.

Giraffes have long lashes too. I've seen them right up close. Have a good day.
