    The teeth are mostly flat, indicating that it’s an herbivore. With the eyes on the front side of the face, that indicates that it’s a predator, due to its binocular vision. So this rare specimen hunts ambulatory plants. A very rare find indeed! Yay science!!

      It looks like it’s flying too. Those ambulatory plants must be FAST!

      Sounds useful for when the triffids come.

      No one ever laughs when I make this reference.

        Hmm, I don’t remember the book exploring bodies of water and the triffids. And I’ve read it recently.

        Underappreciated apocalypse universe, that.

      The eyes appear to be coming from their nostrils. I wonder what evolutionary pressures squeezed their eyes out their nose.

        Perhaps they’re like frogs, which sometimes use their eyeballs to swallow and, uh … The eyeballs got lost along the way?

      Sharks do not have binocular vision in the same way humans do, so their depth perception is less precise. They rely more on monocular cues (e.g., size, movement, and overlap of objects) and motion parallax (relative motion of objects at different distances) to estimate depth.

    I think you’re seeing the tragic result of a shark having shark repellent bat-spray used on it.
