Truth Is Always Weirder Than Fiction

Imagine, a fish with tubular eyes. Great to collect available light, which is perfect for a deep-sea dweller. Problem is, tubular eyes are extremely limited in field of view. So this critter, the barreleye, must be effectively blind, right?

Not if scientists discover that the eyes can be rotated and the fish has evolved a transparent head.

Oh wait... no I don't. Just don't be an ass.
