How does the transparent eyelids of camels help it to survive in a desert?

Camels come equipped with 3 eyelids and this is predominantly for protection against sandstorms which can occur frequently in the geographical areas where camels are normally found.

The first 2 lids have very long eyelashes and these are used to keep sand from entering the eyes. The third eyelid is transparent and this allows the camel to see during a storm even when the eyelid is closed. Additionally, the third eyelid blinks in a sideways fashion (similar to windshield wipers) and this will clear away any sand currently on or around the lid.

Why is Sopwith Camel Important?

Type your answer here...

The Sopwith Camel was one of the best British fighters in WW1, which followed a series of earlier Sopwith designs. It was a great fighter and was agile to fly. This British aircraft was credited with downing more enemy aircraft than any other Allied plane. However, it was a little tricky during landing and take-off and almost as many of them were destroyed by accidents as destroyed in combat.

The aircraft got its name "Camel" because of the hump on top of the fuselage behind the engine cowling that partially covered the twin machine guns.

Actually only about 400 were destroyed, most in training accidents, with over 1,294 confirmed victories in World War I.

It was flown by British, American and Canadian pilots mainly, but because the engine rotated around a stationary crankshaft there was a lot of torque on the airframe. To an unsuspecting pilot this could put them in great danger.
