What reptiles have a third eye?
This describes the tuatara of New Zealand.It does not have three eyes that all have vision capabilities. The third eye is called the parietal eye. Although it has a lens, retina and nerve connection, it is not functional as an eye. it grows on top of the reptile's head, under the skin, and is not visible. Scientists have not been able to determine the function of this third eye, but it is thought that light falling on this third eye may influence certain biological functions such as sleep and hibernation.

Are lizards unicellular?
Unicellular means "consisting of a single cell". No animal visible to the naked eye is unicellular, though there are single cells visible to the naked eye (like eggs). No lizard is unicellular, no reptile is unicellular, no amphibian is unicellular.
Animal three eyes?
Surprisingly, there is. This is the tuatara, a reptile which looks like a lizard. In some lizards there is a gland at the front of the brain called a pineal body, shapes like an eye. In most of these lizards, the pineal body is not fully developed, and does nothing at all, but in the tuatara's case, it is developed fully, and acts as a third eye.
How many eyes does a sea turtle have?
The tuatara (a lizard-like reptile native to New Zealand) technically has three eyes. Two are ordinary functional eyes but the third, or parietal eye, is under its skin and is not used for vision. This is similar to the third eye called the pineal gland found in mammals and humans. It is a common feature in reptiles such as lizards and frogs.The parietal eye has a lens, retina and nerve connection, and grows on top of the reptile's head, under the skin. It is thought that light falling on this third eye may influence certain biological functions such as sleep and hibernation.

What is animal name that has 3 eyes?
The tuatara, a lizard-like reptile that lives only in New Zealand, has those three "eyes." It belongs to a group of reptiles that once included many other creatures, but today, the tuatara is the only surviving member of that group. To understand where the tuatara's "third" eye came from, scientists studied a small growth attached to the front of the reptile's brain, a gland my called the pineal body. In some lizards, the part of the brain that is related to this pineal body is shaped much like an eye. It has a lens-shaped outer wall, a transparent covering, and a retina with pigment. Scientists think that this "pineal eye" does not help most lizards see, but in the tuatara, the pineal eye is fully developed, giving the creature a "third eye" through which to see!
What the animal can move eye itself?

Is komodo a reptile or a amphibian?
In European Legends they're said to look reptalic, but it contridicts other European legends about them. Reptiles are cold blooded and dragons couldn't have been cold blooded because they were said to live on snowy mountains, where it'd be too cold for a reptile to survive.
