Peacock mantis shrimp have the most complex visual system.

Now imagine 12 different colors that you can’t even imagine. That is how the mantis shrimp do.

Like the modern clown, the Mantis Shrimp has a psychopathic killer instinct.

And they will either skewer you or punch you like Captain Falcon.

Looks delicious.

they ALSO SHOOT LASERS! im actually for the most part not joking. they hunt using a claw that can create heat greater than the sun!

blackrasputin
Yeah they probably don’t. They have more cones but they’re not for color detection. More likely it’s for processing everything quickly.

Yessss! I think Tamatoa is a different animal but this was my first thought too!

This comic is where I first heard of the mantis shrimp and it became my favorite animal.

CPTHindsight2020
Each of its eyes has 3 independently moving pupils giving it double trinoculor vision. It can see 12 color wavelengths compared to our 3 1/2
CPTHindsight2020
Meaning that it sees in triple the depth of field as we can and 9 colors we cannot even imagine

Glad someone said it!
Svartlebee
They have trinocular vision, see into both infrared and ultraviolet, and can see over 13 base colours, humans have 3 for reference. They see
G0alden3y3
Thanks, I couldn't cemceptualize their range of vision, until now.
Svartlebee
2/ so many colours we don't even have names for.

But their brain is too small to process all the information they get.

He sounds like Agent Smith after a tab of acid and a couple of cocktails.

At least two times.

Were these the assholes that break Aquariam glass?
Ventralfinn
Yup https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
CPTHindsight2020
They require special consideration trying to contain them, like a buffer shatter proof sheet of plastic not touching the aquarium glass

one of the assholes that do.

Is it a pocket of air or a vacuum?
DonnieDangles87
Its neither. Read my response to the other comment if you like.
TheMadKnight
Vacuum
DonnieDangles87
Nope, It's actually a pocket of "steam" vapor. It's caused by the pressure dropping a point that liquid water boils into a vapor....
DonnieDangles87
...after the pressure normalizes, the steam vapor "bubble"(not air) collapses. The energy is immense and creates a shockwave....
DonnieDangles87
We have to design hydronic systems for buildings to avoid cavitation...the shockwave can create holes in 1/8" steel guide vanes of pumps.
bamblebimble
Was about to respond that it's a vacuum not air. If it was air it wouldn't collapse
DonnieDangles87
It's not technically a vacuum. Its actually a bubble of "steam" vapor caused by a pressure drop below the vapor pressure of water.
VashtheStampede47
They see 9 million more colors than we do.
Mistruths
No, they see the same colors we do but with a much, much simpler system.
TheMostMoistOyster
i see that there username bud
Mistruths
But you haven't read my bio, so it doesn't matter.
TheMostMoistOyster
yeah but they see way more color because instead of the 3 color cones humans have they’re estimated to have around 15 or 16.
captbananapants
Colours are infinite. They see a larger spectrum.
teslathemaxpuppy
They can also punch so fast that they can shatter your hand if you get too close. lovely
marciaisnotmyname
As fast as a 22-caliber bullet
GruntThumper
Needs a banana for scale...
SneakEFoxxe
These guys get super vision and a falcon punch. Now look at a panda and tell me evolution is fair
SecretlyThreeDucksInAManSuit
Hey hey, don't go doing the mantis shrimp a disservice now... they also have armour so strong scientists are studying it for use in war.
HolyOldRoman
Isn’t evolution the very definition of unfair?
allansmithee
I looked at a panda and want to tell you evolution is fair. (Did that work for you?)
Fireninja404
Or a kiwi bird. those poor things seem like they struggle on easy mode
CPTHindsight2020
They have the fastest punch in the world. They actually create cavitation bubble! They can kill their prey with a single punch!
Fireninja404
I thought that was their cousin, the pistol shrimp? except with snapping instead of punching. although PMS still punches the hardest
CPTHindsight2020
They are both clown shrimp, they come in 2 variants, the sizzor and the hammer
CPTHindsight2020
One punch shrimp!
hamper10
yeahhh no. at most it can leave u with a nice bruise. maybe hairline fracture if it hit the tip of your finger...
Rhulain
Its gonna leave blisters at least. They 'punch' with the velocity of a .22 bullet
Prinzka
So? They punch at 50mph. Spread the kinetic energy of such a lightweight bullet over the width of a shrimp claw and it won't even break skin
Rhulain
Yeah but a mantis shrimp isn't the size of that shrimp you ate last. It's much bigger.
ReredrumLadicimohAtoN
Which in turn increases the impact area distributing the force more
hamper10
Ejaculate will leave a penis at roughly the same rate of travel as a city bus, about 28 miles per hour. how u process this info is up to you
Rhulain
Well if your nut can break glass, I'd honestly like to see that out of scientific curiosity.
hamper10
The information wasn't very effective.

I mean, besides the part where it bitch-smacked the cube for not being food, that's fake as fuuuuuuuck. It's a goddamn hand puppet lol
nation543
No they confirmed it's a real shrimp. They took the cube out and progressed it for each shot, however.

Yeah but hed break your toe on the way out.

They have sexnocular vision.

And where can one purchase these sexnoculars? Asking for a friend....
kelseysaurusrex
They can strike at speeds up to 52 mph and so hard/fast that they basically create pockets of boiling water when they do
iBeatOtherPeoplesKids
They create visible explosions with their punch.

How many peacock mantis shrimp would it take to cook a chicken
rowingrowingrowing
This is what I came for and you did not disappoint.
davegur
How many peacock mantis shrimp would it take to cook themselves?
KingKelevra
Snap boiled shrimp?
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
I believe the slap speed is 4000 so if you took 77 shrimp slapping it should equal the same amount of momentum needed to cook the chicken.
KingKelevra

My Marine Biology teacher said he picked up some live rock and one was sitting on it without his knowledge. Stuck its spear right 1/2

through his fucking thumb. 2/2
mafartsmells
AHornyRhino
yeah. Imagine something like this going through your thumb.
ravnicrasol
Aquariums don't take them in because they tend to break the glass of the tank. Or crack it often until it smashes if it's thick enough.
DiscountCatSoMyCatTaxIsLower
I believe Moat Marine has a mantis shrimp and a pistol shrimp.
rowingrowingrowing
Sarasota!
mwoodman
Denver Aquarium has one. The Butterfly Pavilion in Broomfield has one too.

The Denver Aquarium one always hides. I recalled an Imgur post, pulled up pic of a M.S., & put phone screen by his tank. He came right out!
