MIAMI — It's not that body parts never wash ashore on Florida beaches. But usually it's not an eye the size of a softball.

State wildlife officials are trying to determine the species of a blue eyeball found by a man Wednesday at Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale.

They put the eyeball on ice so it can be analyzed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.

Agency spokeswoman Carli Segelson says the eyeball likely came from a marine animal, since it was found on a beach. Possible candidates include a giant squid, a whale or some type of large fish.

  • Eye think this spokeswomen is a very intelligent person when she said she thought it came from a marine animal. You think finding it on the beach could have something to do with that? A large fish would have been my guess too. Eye think if you hollow it out, it would make a lovely vase.........
