The
stargazer fish was named that because it has eyes on the top of its
head. But it’s not stars that this fish is looking for -it’s food! The
stargazer wiggles its body and digs into the ocean floor with its fins
until it is completely buried, except for those eyes. When a smaller
fish swims by obliviously, it leaps from the sand in a terrifying
instant.
Enjoy the action in this compilation video, with a decidedly strange musical accompaniment, and then read more about the stargazer fish at Atlas Obscura.
