That should say "rarely seen alive."

There are plenty of pics if you search google images.

most google images show drawings rather than actual fish.

Thresher Shark? Havent you guys ever seen Jaws? "Like a doll's eyes"

Doesnt look right for a Shark eye, at all. Especially a Thresher, whose eyes are almost totally black.

Heard about this on the radio, what's even more crazy is they said some deep dwelling squids can have eyes as large as soccer balls!

Why would they just let that float out to sea? You could probably sell it for a high price to the Japanese as prime whale eye, or to the Chinese for special *ahem* enhancement qualities. Put that thing on ebay, stat.
