2. Transparent Fish Head
This strange fish in water is called Barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has a transparent head and eyes. Two points above the mouth of the fish are not eyes: they are the olfactory organs called nares, which is analogous to the human nose.

5. Transparent Zebrafish
This see-through zebrafish was created in 2008 by scientists so that they can study the disease process, including the spread of cancer. Fish that are transparent allowing researchers at Children's Hospital Boston to directly view the internal organs of fish and observe processes like tumor growth in real-time in living organisms.

6. Transparent Icefish
Found in the cold waters around Antarctica and southern South America, crocodile icefish (Channichthyidae) eat krill, copepods, and other fish. Their blood is transparent because they do not have hemoglobin and / or simply not functioning erythrocytes. Their metabolism relies only on the oxygen dissolved in blood fluid, which is believed to be absorbed directly through the skin from the water. This works because water can dissolve oxygen during the coldest. In five species, the gene for myoglobin in the muscle also has disappeared, leaving them with a white heart, not pink.

7. Transparent Amphipod
