Crocodiles' eyes work in a similar style to human eyes although the crocodile has two sets of eyelids. One set covers the eye with a clear surface so that the eye is protected under the water.

Crocodiles have a unique set of eyes that are adapted for hunting in both water and on land. They have a nictitating membrane that acts as a protective contact lens, allowing them to see clearly underwater. Their eyes have a high number of light-detecting cells called rods, which help them see well in low light conditions. Additionally, crocodiles have excellent night vision due to a layer of cells behind their retinas that reflect light and improve their vision at night.
