See in the video: Eerie deep-sea creature – researchers film a rare fish with a transparent head.
Eerie shots from the deep sea: This creature almost looks like from another world.
The glass-headed fish from the ghost fish family has – as its name suggests – a transparent head.
The transparent, liquid-filled hood is designed to protect the animal’s eyes.
Researchers at the California institute MBARI film the rare creature with a remote-controlled diving robot.
The species only comes in front of your lens nine times in more than 5600 dives.
The recordings of the glass-headed fish are taken at a depth of 650 meters.
The habitat of the creepy-looking creature is the northern Pacific.
In addition to jellyfish, zooplankton and crustaceans are also on the menu of the ghostfish species.
