  • A deep-sea photographer captured an incredible image of a rare octopus with a transparent head.
  • The image, which is part of a large collection showcased on My Modern Met, allows you to see the animal's brain inside its translucent body.
  • The octopus was first discovered in 2006 and has been a rare find for divers.

We all know by now that Earth's oceans are absolutely packed with incredible creatures that we either know very little about or perhaps have never even seen before.

Wu Yung-sen is a deep water photographer that has been diving with his imaging equipment for four years. As My Modern Met reports in a new interview with Yung-sen, a recent deep dive excursion produced some stunning results, as Yung-sen managed to capture an image of a rare octopus with an almost entirely transparent head.
