    Which fish is the only one that can blink both eyes?

    Question #30282. Asked by UK-OK.

    sequoianoir

    Some species of sharks and rays have a membrane, the 'nictitating membrane' that can close over the eye to protect it (birds have a similar membrane). It is particularly noticeable in some sharks as, when they feed, the membrane sweeps across the eye protecting it from debris or from damage by the struggling prey.
