Passage
Read the passage.
"Many birds and amphibians have a third eyelid called a nictitating membrane, which is a clear or almost clear covering for their eyes. Woodpeckers, for instance, have a membrane that slides across the eye from the inner to the outer corner. When these birds use their powerful beaks to drill holes into trees, the membrane prevents debris from hitting their eyes and keeps the eyes stable while their heads vibrate. Red-eyed tree frogs also have a third eyelid. The frogs’ bright red eyes make it hard for these animals to blend into their environment, but the clear membrane is streaked with gold-brown lines that provide helpful camouflage. When the membrane slides upwards, the eyes become less visible while still allowing the frogs to watch for predators."
