It looks like a dinosaur. Bitch it is a dinosaur!
JewishMonk
I didn't understand that for a long time. I thought that people were just making birds out to be more awesome than they are, but I've
learned a lot about taxonomy and cladistics this year. Birds are dinosaurs the same way that anything descended from a primate will
always be a primate. So no matter how far down the family tree you go, anything descended from a certain thing will always be that thing.
Right! It’s so cool! I recommend YDAW and treytheexplainer on Youtube if you’re interested in paleontology. It of my favorite things :D
I'll absolutely check them out. I learned a lot from a guy called AronRa. Hes got a series tracing the human tree from eukaryotes to present

This mechanism creates quite a bit of friction and requires lubrication and that's why eagles need blinker fluid.

It's a neat adaptation but it's not weird... It's a really common thing in the animal kingdom.

It’s called a ‘nicitating membrane’, our common ancestors used to have them hence the pink fleshy triangle in the corner of our eyes.

Cats have similar too, but under their eyelids.
Thegreenestthumb9
All animals with nictitating membranes have them under their eyelids, including this eagle. They do have actual eyelids that they can
Open and close just like most other animals. They just don't bother unless they're sleeping or need to protect them from physical harm.
Kbantar
Cats' can't completely cover their eyes, so they're not true nictitating membranes.

BozoThePie
oh my god, I've seen this gif so many times and I never actually noticed that it's not a "normal" eyelid blinking
captaintern28
How did you get that eagle to stay still out there in the deep forest?
Mewmus
it's like Elizabeth Warren's Native American name "Sitting Eagle" - means "an Eagle that is so full of shit that it can no longer fly"
Good analogy

As a guy working 7 days a week right now (IT), this hit home.
I feel your pain! Hang in there!
Could you close one eyelid and rest it while you work with the other? Probably not.
