Big blue eye on Florida beach likely came from a swordfish, experts say.Scientists from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) believe they have solved the mystery of the giant intact eyeball discovered on a Florida beach last week.
Originally, speculation was that it had belonged to a giant squid. However, Joan Herrera, who is Curator of Collections at FWC's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg, FL, said in a statement today: "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."
