Fish can look through the top of its head
This is one of the more unique animals I've heard of in a while:The barreleye, first discovered in 1939, has a see-through head and tubular eyes. On Monday, scientists said its eyes rotate and allow the fish to look upward through its transparent head. The barreleye is adapted for life in a deep-sea environment where there's no sunlight.
