The Most Amazing Animal Eyes | The Peacock Mantis Shrimp | Love Nature

The peacock mantis shrimp is arguably the most spectacular animal to roam the earth. With complex "trinocular" vision and an incredibly strong punch, this stomatopod has it all, and dresses like it too! Our latest wildlife ocean documentary short is ALL about the colorful peacock mantis shrimp.

[@WhiskeyTactical]

more like super villain i suppose

[@jaybayer3670]

My brain can't even fathom how their eyes work or how they see. Insane.

[@burnoutboy8991]

Honestly

[@alphalunamare]

Maybe they can't see, at least as we do? We have a complex brain to assimilate and make sense of our sensory inputs and 'see' a continuum. They don't have this capability and just react instinctively to sensory inputs in a knee jerk manner. What they see is probably akin to a scratched 1920's movie seen through broken glasses.

[@bigmac8574]

@@alphalunamare That’s a far fetched assumption, to think they don’t see good. They are a very successful species and it’s most likely due to their incredible eyes. But, ye, it would be impossible for us to know exactly how they perceive what they are seeing. At least with todays technology.

[@johncronk8867]

@@alphalunamaretheir color receptors at least work differently, as they need a specific color receptor for purple instead of their brain going “red light plus blue light equals purple light.”

[@annwithaplan9766]

Wow. Beautiful and fascinating. But how in the world would anyone know all that about its eyes?

[@earlspencer7863]

Experiments. Behavioral and they can record neural impulses.

[@annwithaplan9766]

@@earlspencer7863 - Hmm, hadn't thought about that, thanks. Will have to look into it.

[@earlspencer7863]

@Sean Kessens Partially true. The philosophy of color for example has been written about for centuries, but some experiments have shown that it's likely that what you perceive as "red" is exactly the same as what I perceive it to be. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_color Similarly, animals that have similar brain structure to us likely see the world in similar ways to us. Though the mantis shrimp is so far removed that it becomes difficult to speculate at all about what its like to be a mantis shrimp. The age of the universe/earth is a separate topic and there is plenty of geological and astronomical evidence that suggests those numbers. Etc radiocarbon dating and calculating the expansion rate of distant galaxies. In the end one would have to define what "impossible to know" means. How much evidence and what type of evidence is required to "know" something?

[@ViciousViscount]

Wow. These are indeed so fucking cool. What are the many black spots on each eye?

[@peepawthecat]

They are like human eye pupils that take in light.

[@velavanlaack9134]

Imagine this shrimp is the size of torpedo, no submarine can withstand the punch, if it grows to the size of aircraft carrier, it’s intergalactic warship

Physics doesn't work that way.

[@donvrgz9470]

Thats just it. Nobody know why they function the way they do. No scientist can ever know why animals behave they do. It's all speculation and hypothesis. Unless you are the actual animal than only that way you will know how you truly function.
