Blue, as big as a ball, was among the shells and cigarette butts. The man put the giant eye in a plastic bag and then in the refrigerator. Then alerted the police and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The men of the Wildlife put it in ice after the eye will be kept in formalin and sent for analysis to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
None at the moment is able to tell which creature belongs to the eye, although it must be large species, such as swordfish, tuna, sharks and whales. Giant squid are known to have huge eyes to collect the light that reaches the immense depth in which they live.
But according to Charles Messing of Nova Southeastern University's Oceanographic Center is a swordfish, very common in south Florida. However, it will take a little time to get the precise identification of the animal.
