In the low-light mesopelagic zone, eye enlargement is common, yet this giant does not exhibit extreme ocular expansion. Its feeding strategy likely depends more on plankton density and slow cruising than precise visual targeting.
The mismatch between body scale and eye size emphasizes how different sensory priorities evolve in deep-water giants, where movement patterns of prey may matter more than visual detail.
