Freak out the kids. Show them these photos the barreleye, a fish with a transparent head and eyes that twist around. Here is how the Monterey Bay Aquarium describes it because my description isn't nearly good enough:
The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. The fish's tubular eyes are capped by bright green lenses. The eyes point upward (as shown here) when the fish is looking for food overhead. They point forward when the fish is feeding. The two spots above the fish's mouth are olfactory organs called nares, which are analogous to human nostrils.
