#nictitating membrane

[inesk-art]

I really like the idea of Cardassians with nictitating membranes. If you have written a fic or know of a good one with this stuff in it, let me know~ (I've read a few but I can always read more lol)

That's just a really fast sketch while I'm waiting for some important emails that just don't seem to arrive.

If you like my stuff and want to support me: https://ko-fi.com/inessketches <3 Thank you!

So Frost is a tiger and therefore has a Nictitating membrane (third eyelid). Kremy is an alligator and therefore has a Nictitating membrane. So that’s at least two members of the Krew who can blink in a terrifying way if they so choose.

Sharks!

Many sharks have a third eyelid known as a nictitating membrane! It protects their eyes so that their prey won’t injure them while feeding.

So, Lucipurr and Mewsikeen are NOT my first cats, and I've always known that cats have nictitating membranes, or 3rd eyelids, but Mewsie here is the 1st cat I've ever had that closes hers like this without closing her REGULAR ones. And she never does it EXCEPT when I'm giving her scritches, rubs, or any kind of attention she likes. It's a weird combo of gross and adorable, so I just HAD to try and capture it in the strip.
