Conchs Have Two-Lensed Eyes At The end Of Stalks | Nature Id Full Of Surprises

Nature is full of surprises that amaze and inspire... but sometimes we have to LOOK.

Conchs have two-lensed eyes at the end of stalks (ommatophores). A black pupil & colored iris is found at the tip along with a sensory tentacle used to feel objects.
Conchs are unique in the fact that they can re-grow their lost eyes! New eyes regrow at the tip of the eyestalk within five to six days. They initially appear smaller with hollow balls of cells & little pigment, but within 14 days the eyes are fully formed & as good as new.
