Fish With Clear Blood
Every animal (except this one) has hemoglobin in their blood, which mixes with oxygen and that makes the blood appear red. The recently found fish, the ocellated icefish, has no scales, and gin-clear blood. This fish lives over 3,000 feet deep in the oceans of Antarctica. The ocellated icefish was speculated by scientists and they said that this fish has an unusually large heart compared to most fish, which may help move oxygen through its body using blood plasma as a substitute of hemoglobin.
I think it's a bit strange that the fish has clear blood. I'm confused why it doesn't have red blood. If it does not have hemoglobin and uses blood plasma instead, then that would make a bit more sense, although nothing no scientists have proved that, that is the answer.
