Anableps - double eyes

Double Eyes, does that word mean something to you? Well, I never heard of that fish until I watched a documentary about it just today. ;)

Yeah, Double Eyes is a Fish; the specific name is Anableps. It is an uncommon and wonderful fish from tropical America. I was really amazed when I saw that fish, it has a really weird shape and behaviour.

Here’s what I saw amazing about Anableps:
- Each of its eyes contains 2 pupils (opening in iris of eye), one cover the other
- When it swims on the surface to take food, the upper pupils of the eyes are outside the water and the lower pupils see under water.

I have tried to search a video, but did not find a good one.. Below is a small video which will give you an idea of how that fish is:
