Does this beat scorpion burrows?

Here:

The Pacific barrel-eye fish lives 2,000 feet underwater, making it one of those weird “mesopelagic” fish, like the viperfish, hatchetfish and the angler. What makes this fish weird is that its eyes are not on the front of its head or on the sides, like you’d expect; they’re in the middle of its head, next to the brain! It looks like the fish has external eyes, but they’re really nostrils. The fish can still see, though, because the top half of its head is transparent.

The demand for these developments to come about purely by natural selection among random mutations can’t be met by reality, it can only be proclaimed as a dogma.

In reality, something else is at work here, and perhaps later in this century we will get an inkling of what it is.
