--Attachment:

The diagonally-oriented eyes of Histioteuthis are not an artifact or physical impairment stemming from an evolutionary imbalance. Rather, they are actually indicative of an intelligent organism! Consider this scenario: You are walking down the street, and you are stopped by someone claiming you are going the wrong way. You look one way, and you see the eyes of Histioteuthis, bent at an angle to look both ways before cautiously venturing forward

What I mean, @octobot, is that it's strange that Histioteuthis has one eye larger than the other.

Sorry, once more @octobot, I'm thinking it's odd that Histioteuthis has one eye larger than the other. Have there been any studies on this?

That's a question I would ask you, @octobot! So, what ARE the most common squid species found in the British isles?
