Flounder 2
The dab, for example, is born with one eye on each side of its body, however as the
fish matures the soft cartilage separating the eyes is absorbed and the one eye must travel across to
the other side. The entire body, including the skull must go through radical changes. These unusual
eyes belong to a peacock flounder partially buried within the sand. The dab and
flounder are small fishes found in the shallow seas of western Europe.
