Oh my God ! This fish is AMAZING !!!

In addition to that it has a transparent head; its eyes can rotate around its head !!!

Species that this fish belongs to were discovered in 1939. B.Robinson and K. Reisenbichler were in control of  a study on this fish and discovered many secrets of it.

In the beginning, scientists thought that this fish can’t see but above  itself and in a specific direction…and had a confusion on how was this fish, with those properties, adapting and living deeply in the seas…However, they  lately discovered that it has a transparent head having two helmet shaped green materials…which were its eyes that allow it to see along a depth of 700 meters of the deep oceans….and just above its mouth…it had two round spots noticed as its smelling organs …

Really its adaptation to its surroundings is astonishing !
