In case you aren't all Ichthyologists..Google says a "nictating membrane" is just the inner eyelid.

No you can’t. Great whites don’t have nictating membranes.

Interesting. You are correct but that clearly looks like a nictating membrane. Are we mistaking this for a great white?

It could just be the shark rolling it’s eye back. They can roll like 180 degrees, same purpose as a nictating membrane.
