Giant eyeball identified
U.S. scientists said a a mystery giant eyeball that washed up on a Florida beach last week may have came from a large swordfish, according to news reports.
Some speculated that the eye might have come from a giant squid or a whale, but officials at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said a swordfish -- which can grow to over 450 kilograms -- was the likely source.
Cut marks on the eyeball suggest it was cut out of the fish's head at sea by a fisherman who then tossed it overboard, NBC News reported Monday.
