Animals Mantis Shrimp Vision
Mantis shrimp have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom with 16 color receptors compared to humans' three. They see ultraviolet, visible, and polarized light, perceiving colors we can't imagine. Their eyes move independently and can detect cancer cells. They also have the fastest punch in nature, striking at 50 mph with cavitation bubble force.

A mantis shrimp's punch creates bubbles that produce light and temperatures as hot as the sun's surface!
