Source of Huge Eyeball on Fla. Beach ID'd

The softball-sized eyeball that washed up on a Florida beach last week probably belonged to a swordfish, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says. "Experts on site and remotely have viewed and analyzed the eye, and based on its color, size and structure, along with the presence of bone around it, we believe the eye came from a swordfish," an FWC curator says. "Based on straight-line cuts visible around the eye, we believe it was removed by a fisherman and discarded." A reader of NPR's Two-Way blog had pointed out that the eye was "anatomically wrong" for a giant squid, and too big for a whale. (More strange stuff stories.)
