Peacock Mantis Shrimp
This colorful cartoonish-looking marine creature makes its home along the coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific oceans. Don’t be concerned that you’ve never seen this amazingly bright creature at your local aquarium. These guys have a punch that’s unbelievably strong and fast; it can effortlessly break an aquarium glass! We wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley.
One of the most impressive aspects of the peacock mantis shrimp is their shockingly advanced eyesight. They see more wavelengths of color than any mammal, which means their eyes can discern colors that we can’t even imagine. Of course, scientists don’t know what it might look like, but this feature must dramatically affect how these creatures see each other’s bright and bold exoskeletons.
