Check out this video of the barreleye fish. I believe the actual footage came from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Insititue but was re-done by National Geographic.
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think!

That is SO COOL! Great post on a fascinating fish :o)
Hi Jen!
Thanks for stopping in. I thought this was a pretty cool fish. Imagine how surprised you would be if you were just spending a casual Sunday afternoon fishing and you pull up a fish with a transparent head! This probably wouldn’t happen since this particular fish lives about 2000 feet below the ocean but still an intriguing thought!
Boy a face only a mother could love huh? I just love Nat Geo and the camera work they give us. Amazing they can go down 2000 feet below the ocean surface and not only photograph but also study these creatures of the deep.
Nathan you must have a blast doing your posts each day, you have an unlimited amount of new and interesting subjects to bring us on a daily basis. Just a wonderful job!!!
Oh, I don’t know! I think it is a very lovable fish! You can actually get lost just gazing into its eyes… haha!
It is absolutely incredible what some of these camera guys and researchers are able to do. I think I would be too busy looking around at all the cool things to be able to get any work done down there.
Writing up my posts for Wild Facts is one of the best parts of my day. I love writing about all of this stuff and it doesn’t seem like I will run out of topics anytime soon.
I couldn’t agree with you more Nathan. Looking at that fish causes me to drift away into a fairy tale place of my own. I think it is beautiful; but then I thought the aye aye was cute!
Great posts Nathan, your enthusiasm and sincere interest in nature shows through in your words. I hope you infect the world with your love of nature!
The barreleye fish is cute just like the aye aye! I love the idea of having a transparent head. It amazes me!
Thanks for your compliment. I do have a deep rooted love for nature and I am glad that shows in my posts!
Have a great day!
