The Pacific Barreleye Fish - Friday, 27th Feb 2009
They called it "The Pacific Barreleye Fish" or in scientific name "Macropinna Microstoma" (all scientific name is so hard to pronounce ish~!!)
but I called him "Mr. Transparent Head Fish" Jeng Jeng Jeng~
Fishermen and Scientists have found pieces of the unusual Pacific Barreleye Fish in their nets since 1939,
but the first photos of live, intact fish were released on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
Size: 6-inch (15-centimeter)
What so amazing bout' this fish is, it has a fluid-filled dome on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen @_@!!!
The eyes have a barrel shape and can be rotated to point either forward or straight up, looking through its own transparent head.
Ya...the fish have a transparent head! OMG!!! GG!!!
The fish normally hangs nearly motionless in the water, at a depth of about 600 metres (2,000 ft) to 800 metres (2,600 ft).
"Mr. Transparent Head Fish" prey such as small fish and jellyfish are spotted, the eyes rotate like binoculars,
facing forward as it turns its body from a horizontal to a vertical position to feed.
That is scary!!.....Hmmm Imagine I hav a transparent head....
Here's a video of "Mr. Transparent Head Fish"
