AlanM January 28, 2014 Share January 28, 2014 I hadn't seen this one posted yet. About mantis vision. Simultaneously possibly worse and better vision than us. http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/01/one-of-the-strangest-animals-on-earth-gets-a-little-weirder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime January 28, 2014 Share January 28, 2014 Cool! Interesting that we can't figure out how they process color, but that they can see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sen5241b January 29, 2014 Share January 29, 2014 Humans have three cones in there eyes to detect color. Mantis Shrimp have 16 --no doubt evolved to detect disguised prey in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonloco January 29, 2014 Share January 29, 2014 (edited) I've been tooling around google for the past few days checking out mantis tanks....I've always wanted a nano reef with tampa bay live rock, this just might become a reality this year. Came across this TED video, talks more about the "punch" than eye site, but still very interesting....
