This deep sea fish has essentially two pairs of eyes! Along with its main pair of eyes, it has two round, light-collecting mirror organs on the sides of its head which even have a kind of retina! With its four eyes, the fish can see shadows from above and bioluminescence from sides and below!

Their name comes from their tendency to rest completely still on their elongated fins, giving them the appearance of a tripod! When they’re still, their fins appear stiff, but interestingly, when the fish are actually swimming they seem flexible; this had lead to some theories that the fish may pump their fins full of fluids to make them stiff but they’re otherwise quite bendy.
