How do alligator's eyes help it survive?

An alligator's eyes are set to the side of his head and on the upper surface. This allows him to submerge almost his entire body under water and still see the surface, so that he can watch out for enemies and prey while being almost invisible. Additionally the alligator has nicitating membranes on his eyes. These are clear membranes that he can cover his eyes (sort of like clear eyelids) with while ripping and tearing at his prey. They prevent damage to the eye while still offering some vision. It also has a protective, clear layer on its eye that can open underwater and washes away debris such as algea.
