The diagonally-oriented eyes of Histioteuthis are not an artifact or physical impairment stemming from an evolutionary imbalance. Rather, they are actually indicative of an intelligent organism! Consider this scenario: You are walking down the street, and you are stopped by someone claiming you are going the wrong way. You look one way, and you see the eyes of Histioteuthis, bent at an angle to look both ways before cautiously venturing forward
