This bizarre resident of the deep sea is certainly one of the most unique creatures we've ever seen. Imagine traveling through the darkest depths of the ocean around 2,000ft down where everything around you is pitch black. You shine your torch into the gloom and something catches your eye.
As it gets closer, you realize that this is no ordinary fish - you can see straight through its head!
Meet the barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma) - a creature so bizarre that if there weren't pictures and videos of it you could almost believe that it was something completely made up.
Sporting a pair of distinctive tubular eyes, the fish is able to detect faint bioluminescent signals from other deep-sea creatures and has a transparent, shield-shaped head filled with a clear fluid.
The barreleye fish is deceptively small - measuring a mere 6 inches in length - but it has perfectly adapted to this dark and hostile environment.
Little was known about it until 2009 when the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) managed to capture footage of a live specimen using a remote-operated deep-sea vehicle.
You can check out some of their footage below.

Looks like some girls I have encountered over the years...their brains looked similar but were not located in their cranium!

True baseball story.
In the 1934 World Series, star Dizzy Dean was hit in the head during the breakup of a double play.
He went to the hospital and was X-rayed.

There are many small creatures which appear bizarre when examined closely.
