#Repost from our friends at...@oceansnation @download.ins --- The rare barreleye fish and its translucent head 🐟 via @mbari_news "Even in a deep-sea world full of adaptations for seeing in near-total darkness, the barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma) stands out as one of the most bizarre. Two small indentations where eyes might normally appear on a fish are actually the barreleye’s olfactory organs, and its eyes are two glowing green orbs behind its face that gaze up towards the top of its head." 📽️ @mbari_news 📍Monterey Bay, California. #underwater #oceansnation https://www.instagram.com/p/CZTIMX1hG_5/?utm_medium=tumblr
