The Barreleye is a very strange looking fish that lives deep in the ocean, though not as deep as some of the weirder fish you may have seen such as the Anglerfish. The two indentations on the front of its head are not its eyes as you might assume, but its nostrils. Instead, its telescoping eyes are on the inside of its head, which you can see clearly as the majority of the head is transparent to light. The eyes are barrel-shaped (hence the name) with bright green lenses. They typically point upward so that the fish can see the silhouette of its prey against the faint sunlight of the moderately deep sea, but it can also point them forward if the need arises.
