The Spooky Spookfish
The Spookfish or the Barrel Eye is a very strange creature indeed. There are several different species, but they are quite interesting, and easily picked out by their large 'barrel' eyes and transparent skulls. Those two sleepy looking little eyes right above its mouth of the fish in this video are actually "nostrils". The eyes are the big round globes inside the skull, with the green caps on top of them. This fish actually looks through the top of its own skull to see. Other Spookfish eyes are separated into two parts, one seeing upwards, the other down, effectively giving it four eyes. How this works…
