This eye washed up on shore in Pompano Beach Florida. It's the size of a softball!

Wow! That's a big eye. I would love to know what animal it belonged to.

A little on the creepy side, lol. At first I thought it was one of those glass floats.

I think I'd have bad dreams about it if I'd been the one to find that on the beach...

​I don't know who it belongs to but I bet they would like it back. I hope with research that they discover it is from an unknown species. That would be neat!

Some researchers say it maybe from a Swordfish.
I find it rather fascinating, makes you wonder what else is out there in the deep blue sea we know nothing about.
