Allow us to be more transparent for you.
How do critters like this even sustain their bodies? Are their blood and nervous systems transparent too?
Their nervous system isn’t. You can see it in the photo.
I imagine this creature would probably be almost entirely invisible under water and look like just a pair of eyes and a spine.
What if there are bigger fish?
That’s cute. Now throw it back. Thanks.
Where the poop chute?
You’re looking at it.
I’m assuming it’s a 2-way digestive tract
No, fish have digestive tracts that go all the way through. Changing that would be way harder than keeping it mostly empty or full of water to make it clear.
I love science memes fossilesque thank you
Only John Cena is perfectly clear.
CW: Visible notochord.
Nice!
Zebrafish are good for experiments because you can test phenotypes with a microscope without killing it.
