Sometimes two eyes just aren’t enough. Thankfully the Tuatara, a lizard that lives on a few remote islands near New Zealand, has an extra one. The Tuatara has a third eye on the top of its head. We aren’t certain what it is used for but we do know that it gets covered by scales as the lizard grows up.

That’s really cool!
That’s so weird,I would not want that.
Wow it camouflage’s well with the environment.
WOW
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creepy! Maybe that’s where they get their stories about the three eyed lizard stories etc. Interesting too, but not the stories!
I want to have that and then I would be wearing a Halloween costume all year around!
I THINK that the lizard sees its opponent with its third eye
When they grow up do they see scales?
Wow so cool!!!!!
