Yes, these squid eyes were pretty amazing – especially dissected out like that. I’m not sure if we can help you with an image of a whale eye outside of a whale but I’m sure someone out there studies whale eyes and whale vision.

Te Papa’s whale expert is away in the States at the moment so I can’t ask him. We are about to open our Whales Tohorä exhibition at the National Geographic Museum in Washington DC.

Happy to ask him for you when he’s back in NZ.

I guess all eyes are gross, if they’re just sitting out like that. I want to see a whale eye that’s sitting outside of the whale.
