Which type of fish has both eyes on the same side of its body?
Blobfish
Flounder
Swordfish
Mackerel
Fact: Flounders are a type of flatfish that undergo a fascinating and unusual transformation as they mature. While they begin life with an eye on each side of their head like most fish, one eye gradually migrates to the other side as of the head as they develop. This change is accompanied by a flattening of the body, which shifts from a vertical to a horizontal orientation. This adaptation allows flounders to lie flat on the ocean floor with both eyes facing upward, making them effective ambush predators and excellent at camouflage.
Correct Answer: Flounder
