What do animals do with their

.. Go to page 20 for activities.
----.,-,,,. Parts of an Eye
Let's look at an e-ye. It has man-y
parts. This is an elephant's e-ye. The
e-yelid and the e-yelashes protect the
e-yeball. There are tears in the e-ye,
too. The e-yelid opens and closes,
and the tears clean the e-ye.
The pupil lets light into the e-ye. This
helps people and animals to see.
When there's lots of light, the pupil
is little. When there's no light, the
pupil is big.
People have tea rs to cleo n
their eyes. People cry tears
when they are sad, too!
.. Go to page 21 for activities.
Eyes at the front
People and man!] animals have two
e!]es at the front of their head. This
helps them to see things for awa!].
The hawk can 1!] fast and it can see
ver!] well, too. This helps it to hunt
little animals to eat.
The monke!] has e!]es at the front
of its head. It can jump from tree
to tree and it doesn't fall.
rB- - ..........
Owls have eyes at the front of
their head. Some owls can move
their head around and see behind!
.. Go to page 22 for activities.
Eyes at the Sides
Man-y animals have e-yes at the
sides of their head. The-y can see in
front and behind.
The frog has e-yes at the sides of its
head. It can look for insects to eat.
The hammerhead shark has a long,
flat head. It has e-yes at the sides of
its head. When it swims, it can see
all around.
The stalk-e-yed fl-y can see all
around, too. It has e-yes on two
long stalks.
The chameleon sees all around
very well. One eye moves up,
and the other eye moves down!
A SeaL
In Water
The seal lives on land and in water.
It has big, round e-yes. It can see
ver-y well in water. It hunts fish
to eat.
The flatfish has two e-yes on one
side of its bod-y. It can lie at the
bottom of the ocean and look up.
Fish live in water, and they don't have
eyelids. They don't cLose their eyes!
In the Dark
At night, some animals sleep.
ManlJ other animals look for food.
The lemur looks for fruit and little
animals to eat. It has big elJes with
big pupils. It can see verlJ well in
the dark.
It's verlJ dark at the bottom of the
ocean. The flashlight fish has lights
under its elJes. This helps it to look
for little fish to eat.
In the dark, cats and dogs have
bright elJes. ThelJ can see verlJ
well. Look at this cat. What color
are its elJes?
Some animals have many eyes.
Many spiders have six or eight eyes.

50 little eyes! How many of the
eyes can you see here?
Some insects have very many eyes.

thousands of little eyes together.

Protect Your Eyes
It's important for animals to
protect their elJes. In the desert
there's a lot of sand. The camel
has long elJ elashes so the sand
doesn't go in its elJes.
The meercat lives in the desert, too.
It's sunnlJ and windlJ there. Its
elJelids clean the sand from its elJes.
The meercat has black fur around
its elJes. This protects its elJes when
it's sunnlJ.
People wear sunglasses
when it's verlJ sunnlJ.
This protects their
elJes. ElJes are
important.
Remember to
protect them!
