Author's comments:
Se puede apreciar la membrana nictitante (del latín nictare, parpadear), o "tercer párpado", es una característica fisiológica propia de ciertos animales; se trata de una telilla o párpado accesorio transparente o translúcido que puede cerrarse para proteger al globo ocular y para humectar por debajo de los párpados principales
