Scientists capture rare footage of bizarre fish with transparent head

Scientists have captured images of a fish with a bulging, see-through head and green orb-like eyes that stare out through its forehead. The bizarre sea creature was found hundreds of feet underneath the Monterey Bay off the coast of California.

The barreleye fish (scientific name: Macropinna microstoma) is a strange organism that is rarely spotted.
