The fish with FOUR eyes

The glasshead barreleye fish (rhynchohyalus natalensis) lives at depths of between 800metres to 1,000metres

The glasshead barreleye fish (rhynchohyalus natalensis) lives at depths of between 800metres to 1,000metres in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand.
It has two primary cylindrical eyes pointing upwards (seen most clearly in the bottom left image) so it can see prey or predators silhouetted against the gloomy light above as well as a second set of silvery eyes (marked with arrows in the bottom-right image) on the side of its head.
