Scientists have discovered a bristle worm with such sharp-seeing eyes that they measure up to the vision of mammals and octopuses.

These huge eyes weigh 20 times more than the rest of the worm's body.

If human eyes were this big, we’d carry around about 220 more pounds.

Scientists are amazed at the discovery of a bristle worm with such sharp-seeing eyes that they can measure up to those of mammals and octopuses. The researchers from University of Copenhagen and Lund University suspect that these marine worms may have a secretive language, which uses UV light only seen by their own species. The advanced vision of such a primitive creature helps to finally settle an epic debate about the evolution of eyes.
