Wide eyed flounders live in the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, on sand and rock bottoms of coastal reefs.
They reach a maximum length of 45 centimeters and lie on one side, while having their eyes on the other side of their body. They eyes rotate by 180 degrees to spot predators.
The side with the eyes of the fish is coloured in such a way that it always blends in with the sea bottom, while its bottom side is white.
