----.,-,,,. 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.

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.

, ':.CameLs

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!
