Headhunter Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 It looks like the fish in Monty Python's Maeaning of Life, the part where they are in the restaurant, just before the stout fellow walks in and orders everything on the menu!

PatrickGG Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Did some research on it's habitat: ((MBARI researchers Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler used video taken by unmanned, undersea robots called remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to study barreleye fish in the deep waters just offshore of Central California. At depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet) below the surface, the ROV cameras typically showed these fish hanging motionless in the water, their eyes glowing a vivid green in the ROV’s bright lights. The ROV video also revealed a previously undescribed feature of these fish–its eyes are surrounded by a transparent, fluid-filled shield that covers the top of the fish’s head.)) Amazing what lives in that Depths with so much pressure that would crush a human being. Edited February 26, 2009 by PatrickGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
