On average, puppies open their eyes 12 - 16 days after birth. But this is the average time, so sometimes puppies may open their eyes a day or two earlier or later than that. It depends on the individual puppy. Sometimes in one litter, one puppy may open his eyes after 9 days, while another may open his after 14 days, and yet another will open his after 18 days. There is no established pattern to know when a puppy will open his eyes. Sometimes a pup may even open one eye before the other!
Lion cubs are born blind and donât begin to open their eyes until around three to four days old. Their eyes are a blue-grey colour at first and begin to change to an orangey brown by the age of two to three months. Lionâs eyes are quite large with round pupils that are three times as big as a humanâs. A second eyelid, called a nictitating membrane, helps to clean and protect the eye. Lions canât move their eyes from side to side very well, so have to move their whole head when they want to look in different directions.
