The barreleye fish, already known as a species but filmed in the deep for the first time by the Monterey Bay aquarium research institute. The green orbs are its eyes, directed upwards to detect its prey in silhouette through its transparent head.

i honestly thought the barreleye fish was a cool 'shopped illustration until I googled it...the more I stare at it, the more cognitive dissonance I seem to experience..truly 'Other'....oh for barreleyed humans (I saw this class of fish is called 'chimera' which is some kind of wonderful and very appropriate)....
....blog hopping on new years day...you never know what you will find...I somehow got to here by searching for Valery Allington's 1983 classic 'Stop' but I cannot quite remember how I did it!
Ha ha! well im glad you did land on my blog as this is a truly excellent fish and Valery Allingtons stop is a truly excellent song!...disco lover are we?
