Bola Mata Misterius Ditemukan di Pantai AS
Quote:
Sebuahbola mata raksasa yang terdampar di pantai AS telah membingungkan para petugas margasatwa yang belum mampu mengidentifikasinya.
Pria yang menemukan mata biru itu di Pantai Pompano, Florida kemarin mengatakan, benda itu terlihat mencolok dari kerang, puntung rokok dan rumput laut yang biasa ia lihat.
"Benda itu sangat, sangat segar. Benda itu masih berdarah saat aku menaruhnya di kantong plastik," kata Gino Covacci kepada Orlando Sentinel.
Mata itu, yang bisa pas saat dipegang dengan dua telapak tangan, sudah diserahkan ke Komisi Konservasi Margasatwa dan Ikan Florida untuk diuji.
Sementara petugas margasatwa tidak bisa segera mengidentifikasi spesies asal mata tersebut, diperkirakan mata tersebut adalah mata dari cumi-cumi raksasa, ikan besar atau bahkan paus.
Spoiler for "berita asli":
Hayooo, kira-kira itu matanya siapa?
Yg jelas sih bukan matanya ini
Spoiler for "mata":
UPDATE :
Menurut perkiraan para ahli, mata tersebut kemungkinan adalah mata dari ikan pedang (swordfish)

Eyeball mystery to be solved in Tampa Bay area
![kaskus-image]()
ST. PETERSBURG- The mystery of a giant eyeball that washed ashore in Pompano Beach this week may be solved in Tampa Bay.
The big blue eye, which is currently at a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission field office in South Florida, will be transported to the agency's research institute in St. Petersburg within the next two weeks.
"Once it gets over here, our staff will be doing some genetic testing to confirm what the species might be," said Kevin Baxter with the FWC. "DNA tests are likely to be taken on what's become a worldwide article of interest."
The research institute has been contacted by people from as far away as Asia and Europe inquiring about the eyeball. There's been rampant speculation about what type of animal it came from, such as a large fish or a giant squid.
While the research institute hasn't made a determination about the eyeball, the initial suspicion is that it came from a fish with a backbone, not a squid.
"A squid is an invertebrate, so it's not technically what we would call a fish," Baxter said.
Fishermen have been talking about the eyeball for days, as the size and color have fascinated those who regularly venture out into the Gulf and the Atlantic.
"I've done a lot of tautog and mackerel fishing, and giant shark. Haven't seen anything with a blue eye," said Frank Leo, who works at the bait shop at the end of the Skyway Pier. "It's totally foreign to me."
Dave Roberts has fished both Florida coasts, and his guess about the eye's origin is among the most popular on internet.
"I would say it's an eye of a swordfish," Roberts suggested. "Swordfish are bill fish and they do most of their hunting at night. So therefore they have to have big eyes to see well," he said.
Several marine biologists have echoed that opinion, but most agree the fish would have to be enormous to have an eye that large. The blue orb is about the size of a softball.
