See-Through Fish

The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma for you ichthyologists) is a deepwater fish that has a see-through, fluid filled head in which it moves its eyeballs. And that, dear reader, is freaking awesome.

Barreleyes, just a few inches long, are thought to eat small fishes and jellyfish. The green pigments in their eyes may filter out sunlight coming directly from the sea surface, helping the barreleye spot the bioluminescent glow of jellies or other animals directly overhead. When it spots prey (such as a drifting jelly), a barreleye rotates its eyes forward and swims upward, in feeding mode.

What a freak! Reminds me of a girl I used to date that had a wandering eye. My God that turned me on. When she was looking at you it was like she was looking through you. Well, with her good eye anyways, the other was always wandering over your shoulder. Damn I miss that eye.

Thanks to Pat, who has eyes in the back of his head that he can’t use because he needs a haircut.

    I appreciate you for posting such a wonderful website. Your weblog was not only informative but also very inventive too. We find very few bloggers who can create technical articles that creatively. I keep looking for information regarding something like this. We ourselves have gone through many websites to build up on information regarding this.I will keep coming back !!
