VIDEO: Macropinna Fish With A Transparent Head: Macropinna microstoma,

Macropinna microstoma, commonly known as Barreleye, are small deep sea fish found in tropical-to-temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.  What you might first mistake as its eyes (just above the small mouth) are actually the fish’s olfactory organs (the equivalent of nostrils). Believe it or not, the eyes are the green tubular objects that are pointing upwards from within the transparent dome of the fish’s head (which draws similarities to the glass canopy of a jet fighter).

Living at depths where sunlight from the surface fades to almost complete blackness, their tubular eyes are excellent at collecting light, allowing them to search for faint silhouettes of prey overhead.  While it was initially believed their eyes were fixed in an upward position; that would have made it near impossible to actually eat their prey with no ability to see forward (where their mouth is located).
