Video of a fish with a transparent head

This species of fish is called Macropinna microstoma. It is unique because of its transparent frontal lobe which visibly shows two green spheres acting as a set of tubular eyes. These eyes can rotate a remarkable range allowing the fish to see predators and prey. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute liken the transparent dome to the covering of a jet cockpit.

    hey, so this is really random but my rooomate and friend is enid and that’s how she introduced me to your site. we have the same theme but i was wondering if you could tell me how you moved your comments link from the top of the blog to the bottom. a lot of people are getting confused on my website and commenting on the previous blog instead of the original blog. thanks!

    btw, i love your blog, especially about new technology stuff. haha.
