Flounder's eye - The Semi-Closed Eye

The eye of the Bothus mancus—or flounder—is a marvel of adaptation. Perched high on one side of its flat body, it rotates independently to scan its surroundings while the fish remains buried in sand. In macro, its intricate pattern and reflective surface reveal a stunning world of detail, a perfect example of nature’s creativity.
