Barreleyes or Macropinna microstoma is a weird fish that has a translucent head with odd eyes. These eyes rotate in their heads giving them the abiliby to actually see above its body! That's right, these deep sea creatures actually keep an eye on potential predators or food that is swimming in waters above them.
These pictures were taken off the coast of California, but little more is know about the habitat of this rarely seen fish. Barreleyes can grow to only about 4.4 cm and are also known as Spookfishes. These fish are found in waters of 16 to 1015 meters deep.
