At almost 10 inches in diameter, these are the largest eyes ever recorded. The huge pupils take in 144 times as much light as a human’s. “Vision is obviously an important sense, since so much investment has been made in the eyes and the optic lobes,” says Eric Warrant, an invertebrate-vision specialist at the University of Lund in Sweden.
"The squid has a doughnut-shaped brain; the esophagus passes straight through the center."
