Holy crap, this is horrific. A few weeks ago, a 200-pound domesticated chimpanzee went on a rampage, where he attacked his owner and badly mauled a 55 year old woman in Connecticut. This is the 911 tape of the call. YEESH! (The AP News report video is below that, in case you missed the story.)

This species of fish is called Macropinna microstoma. I’s unique because of its transparent frontal lobe which visibly shows two green spheres acting as a set of tubular eyes. These eyes can rotate a remarkable range allowing the fish to see predators and prey. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute liken the transparent dome to the covering of a jet cockpit. (Be sure to head over to the YouTube page to watch this video in HD!)
