Now that is freaky. I wonder what would cause a fish to evolve this way? What is the purpose of a see through head?:)

They think it is because the fish steals food from jellies. Having the eyes insides keeps their eyes from getting stung. It is odd though because I cannot get over those nostrils in the front they look just like eyes. :)
I love it. Nature amazes me.
That looks freaky and COOL!!!
Love the deep water creatures.
Pretty incredible. Who knows all the animals we have yet to find?!
this is exactly why i should have done better in school..... could be finding fish like this. (insert crying emoticon here)
