The four-eyed fish…. Interesting facts. What if your chances of having sex is determined by whether you are a “righty” or a “lefty”? The Anableps Anableps is called the four-eyed fish. A horizontal band of tissue splits the eye into to lobes: each with its own pupil and lobe. Allows it to see in and out of the water simultaneously while swimming.
