Some animals have a third eye lid, Including some lizards and camels.

The main reason for this is to offer the eye extra protection from sand and dust. As many animals live in environments where it is a true risk of being blinded by constant sand clouds, and the third eyelid, which usually goes across the way offers the eye slightly more protection.
