VIDEO: See Through Fish Discovered

Used to the darkness of the deepest sea, this fish has developed a unique and useful ability to notice predators which sneak from behind.

American biologists have been following the Macropina microstoma for years, a little fish with a see through head and eyes that can see in all directions, the MailOnline writes. Used to the darkness of the deepest sea, this fish has developed a unique and useful ability to notice predators which sneak from behind, as well as to spot potential food.

For years, biologists thought its eyes were fixated and that it could only see what is in front of it. However, it has now been discovered that the Macropina has developed its eyes and it can see in all directions through the transparent shield. While its body is mostly dark, the top of its head is transparent and its eyes are clear to see.

According to biologists, it has developed refined eyesight because of the predator-like environment it is exposed to. It lives in great depths where light can just barely reach it. Biologists have also discovered that it almost does not use its large flat fins, which makes it impossible for predators to notice it. However, it can see small fish and plankton which are its food.

Its incredible eyes have a light green shine to them and researchers believe it is possible that it has developed a type of a filter which makes it possible to ignore sunlight and notice biological light of just certain fish types with which it feeds and jelly fish which are its specialty.
