The deepest oceans have a way of coming up with some of Earth’s strangest creatures. But this unusual fish might have them all beat.
Meet Macropinna microstoma , a small fish who appears to be totally normal — until you get to the see-through head.
Macropinna microstoma is the only species of fish in the genus Macropinna, belonging to Opisthoproctidae, the barreleye family. It is recognized for a highly unusual transparent, fluid-filled dome on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen. The eyes have a barrel shape and can be rotated to point either forward or straight up, looking through the fish’s transparent dome. M. microstoma has a tiny mouth and most of its body is covered with large scales. The fish normally hangs nearly motionless in the water, at a depth of about 600 metres (2,000 ft) to 800 metres (2,600 ft), using its large fins for stability and with its eyes directed upward. In the low light conditions it is assumed the fish detects prey by its silhouette. MBARI researchers Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler observed that when prey such as small fish and jellyfish are spotted, the eyes rotate like binoculars, facing forward as it turns its body from a horizontal to a vertical position to feed. Robison speculates that M. microstoma steals food from siphonophores.

I've been banished to what is prerry much a deserted island at my job. I'm working at a branch all by myself. I see people for about fifteen mintues out of my ten hour day and I have to fill most of my time playing my 3ds...... I'd call myself pretty successful.
Seriously not hungry or anything
