A new study explains why humans, goats and dozens of other mammals have eyelashes. The mysterious function of eyelashes has been revealed at last -- thanks to science.
While a lot of animals have eyelashes, some animals also have other kinds of hairs on their face to help them sense the world. Some of these animals include cats, like me. Horses have something similar. In addition to upper eyelid lashes, they have very long hairs around their eyes called vibrissa.

One surprising aspect of a swan's eye is that it has what we call a nictitating membrane. This is essentially is an extra eyelid that is transparent that acts just like a pair of goggles underwater.
