How many legs does a flounder have?

Answer 1

A halibut has two eyes, both on the top of its head, side-by-side.

When a halibut is born it has eyes on either side of its head and swims upright, like a trout or salmon. Within a year, one of its eyes moves toward the other side of the head. During the same period of time, the side of the head with the static eye develops dark skin pigment, and the bottom side remains white. Thus, the halibut is camouflaged from above and below.

Answer 2

As an evolutionary adjustment over many millenia. The halibut (and the sole, and the flounder) prefer to lie on the bottom to look for prey above them, and then strike out for it. Both eyes on the same side of it's head made this more efficient, and possibly more accurate (binocular vision).

Answer 3

When the Halibut is born the eyes are on both sides of its head so it has to swim like a salmon. After about 6 months one eye will migrate to the other side of its head, making it look more like the flounder.
