The camel has a third eyelid.
A cat's third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane, is visible when it is sleeping because it helps protect and moisten the eye while the cat is in a relaxed state.
The third eyelid in the cat (and dog) is found in the lower corner of the eye on the side near the nose. It can be visualized on occasion as it may partially elevate and partially cover the eye. In birds, the third eyelid is very functional and sweeps across the entire eye. It too is located in the same spot as the cat and dog. Even humans have a third eyelid, however, it is vestigial (a small non-functional remnant).
A cat's third eyelid becomes more visible when they are sleepy because their eye muscles relax, allowing the third eyelid to move across the eye and become more noticeable.
Cats sometimes have their third eyelid showing when they are sleeping because it helps protect their eyes and keep them moist while they are resting.

No, no fish can blink because they have no eyelids. We blink to regain moisture in our eyes and wash away dirt, but they are surrounded by moisture and water, so there is no need to blink. However, the are a few that have a nictitating membrane (also called the third eyelid) that they "blink". This "third eyelid" is used to protect the eyes.
The bullfrog's third eyelid is called a nictitating membrane. This translucent membrane helps protect the eye and keeps it moist while allowing the bullfrog to see. It can move across the eye, providing an additional layer of protection against debris and predators.
Yes, horses can close their eyes, but they do so differently than humans. They have a nictitating membrane, or "third eyelid," that helps protect their eyes while allowing them to see. When resting or sleeping, horses may partially close their eyelids, but they often keep one eye open to remain aware of their surroundings.
