Fish With A See-Thru Head!

Talk about having eyes in the back of your head. The common name for the fish is “barreleyes.” Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute investigators recently figured out why this species has a transparent head. Its eyes can actually rotate within its “skull,” so the transparency allows it to keep an eye on what’s going on all around it.

See some more pics here.

    I think that this is the creepiest thing I have seen in a great while!!! Talk about weird stuff out in our ocean and yet we are ruining it before we get the chance to really get to know it!

    hey losers. stop commmenting rubbish on this page, you should learn to appreciate the ocean and the wonders in it, something you’ve clearly learnt to waste. if you want to watch the ocean die, on your heads be it.

    i think you would find that the ocean is a wonderful place and deserves respect along with these people who run the site.
