According to American Oceans, swordfish are typically found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. And while a soft-ball-sized eye that NBC News confirmed as belonging to a swordfish was large, it wasn’t quite as large as the one shown in this photo.
Nonetheless, it’s easy to forget that swordfish can weigh up to 1,100 pounds and that their sword-like bills are sharp enough to pierce through the human skull and into the brain. That was revealed in a 2007 study in the Asian Journal of Surgery, but researchers noted that it’s exceedingly rare because swordfish aren’t known for unprovoked attacks.
