VIDEO: Scientists startled to find fish with transparent head swimming deep off the California coast

Scientists aboard a deep-sea research vessel exploring the waters off the coast of California could not believe their eyes when they spotted an incredibly rare and truly bizarre-looking fish that sports a transparent head.

The peculiar creature, known as a barreleye fish, possesses a transparent head and you can see its glowing upturned eyes and a pair of olfactory organs that are positioned where its eyes ‘should’ be.
