Wonder what else is still out there that we haven’t killed off yet?
“The second set of eyes contain silvery layers of guanine crystals, which act as a curved mirror to focus light onto the retina, and are reported to give the fish a wide field of vision”
Nifty.. like a car’s convex wing mirror..

Ah nope.
Top and bottom eyes, front an back eyes… Maybe. But not top and side iiis
Anyhoot it is a bottom-dweller so 180 of the degrees would be a kinda very muddy vision…
