    What’s click baity? They literally have eyes all over their shells. The article goes into the 2 main eye types they’ve evolved, when they evolved them, and supposes it’s to avoid getting eaten which is a pretty reasonable theory.

    I guess the “sea creature mystery” is a bit click baity but not the eyes all over it’s shell part.

      “Eyes over its shell” = neat, moving on

      “Researchers solve mystery of eyes over its shell” = Oh, what’s the mystery? Must be WHY they have those eyes. Better click the article to find out!

      Look up pictures of chiton (the name of the creature in question). It’s nearly impossible to find a picture that looks like the shell itself are the eyes, yet in the article featured front and center is a picture of a chiton with a shell that happens to look like bug eyes.
