Fact or Fiction?

Hamsters are cute and often friendly. They are in most people’s homes at one time or another because they are easy pets for children to care for. But they have an interesting physical trait which you’ll find fun to share with friends.

Most mammals blink their eyes to help coat the eye ball with fluid, keep it moist and to protect the eyes. And, that blinking is usually done together. In other words, both eyes blink at the same time. Except in the case of the hamster. These little critters can blink one eye at a time, thus keeping their eye on their environment and on the lookout for predators.

Have a wonderful day!
