- dr_dshiv 7y agoThis is really important foundational research for informing future genetically engineered humans that floresce during mating rituals [1], see 12 primary colours [2] and punch like a 22-caliber bullet [2] [1] https://science.sciencemag.org/content/303/5654/51 https://science.sciencemag.org/content/303/5654/51 [2] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2014/07/03/natures-most-amazing-eyes-just-got-a-bit-weirder/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2014/07...

- diveanon 7y agoI see mantis shrimp almost every day, and I warn photographers to approach them very slowly because otherwise they will run and hide. If you can see a mantis shrimp, they can almost certainly see you. The best way to approach them is to hover directly above and slowly descend on top of them. Amazing animals, I would love to be able to see the reef like they do.
