Telescopefish
Telescopefish are small, deep-sea aulopiform fish comprising the small family Giganturidae. There are just two known species, both within the genus Gigantura. Though rarely captured, they are found in cold, deep tropical to subtropical waters worldwide. The common name of these fish are understandably named for their bizarre, tubular eyes. The genus name Gigantura is in reference to the Gigantes, a race of giants in Greek mythology—coupled with the suffix oura, meaning "tail", thus Gigantura refers to the greatly elongated ribbon-like lower half of the tailfin that may comprise over half of the total body length.
