Let playground tongue more accurate when it applied1 Anableps anableps, a fish related to the garbe. It lives in the blackish water of mangoswan in central of South America in hunts for food of the water surface. Its bozing eyes submerged half way which poses revolution problems. Should those eyes be attuning2 the greenish light drifting the mango, or the yellowish ray drifting up through murky3 water? Well, these fish eyes see both.
Anableps doesn't actually has four eyes, just the usual two. But each eye has two pupils, one above water, one below. And each pupil sends incoming visual inform of the different side of the fish's retina. Coming each of the retina adapted produces different light filtering pigments4. So c.. under water ray is primate5 sense a longer way from yellow light. C.. by daily a sense of the short way from green light. The finding appears on a journal biology letters.
The entire arrangement makes it easy for this bifocal fish just spot attested6 above from above water or bet it voyage below. For when it comes revolution, the eye's habit.
