I'll upvote both. One is colourful, the other can see the most colours.

Nobody is going to talk about how amazingly awesome their eyes are?!?

I like how, instead of a Wikipedia link or similar, you put a link to an actual scientific article as Imgur likes them.

Its a good thing they aren't any bigger, they would kill probably so much bigger prey and probably hunt in packs.

True Fact: When a Mantis Shrimp scuttles along the sea floor, it moves it's legs so fast that it boils the water around it

Grant us eyes?
SuperSupply
The colors that they must see, beyond understanding, must be beautiful. And the fish they punch, boiling the water around them. What a life.

Thank you for linking the oatmeal comic. I've seen it before and couldn't remember where to put on other mantis shrimp posts.

Oatmeal has a giant mantis shrimp comically shaped mantis shrimp plush for sale, and I got one and it's amazing.

The super-eyesight thing is largely bullshit, but the pop-claws are neato.

Mantis shrimp can see more colors than any other animal on earth. :) They have something like 12 color cones compared to our 3
absolutebullshit
I thought it was 16? Could be wrong will Google later

actually not true. https://nlonthedl.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/mantis-shrimp-myth-about-vision-debunked/

So they can see different wavelengths of color but are too stupid to realize it? That's what I got after reading the link

Pretty much. Their brains aren't developed enough to be able to use their eyes to their fullest potential.
ElCadejo
Pretty much, yea. lol
zeemode
Thanks. Why would someone make that up initially ? Haha.
ElCadejo
not so much made up, more misunderstood. If humans have 3 cones and can see this much than 12 cones should be THIS MUCH!

Wtf ????????
MrHashSlingingSlasher
This is closeish to the truth, the pistol shrimp creates a vacuum when it punches because of the speed of its punch when it moves its fists>
