## Caption

“The four-eyed fish is one of the quirkiest species I've ever seen.” – JoelSartore, #NatGeoExplorer and founder of the #PhotoArk 

“Despite its name, this fish doesn’t actually have four separate eyes. Living at the surface of the water, its eyes are divided horizontally so it can see above and below simultaneously — watching for prey and predators at the same time. The brain can interpret what it’s seeing in all four views!” 
– 
This species was documented by Sartore at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Photo Ark uses the power of photography to inspire people to learn about the captivating lives and remarkable behaviors of weird and wonderful wildlife — and to take action to safeguard them from growing threats.
