Let me tell you some things about this bitch. This is a mantis shrimp. This thing is 6 - 12 inches and as you can see, it’s all colorful and shit. Mantis shrimp have 16 cones which means it has 13 more cones than humans. So these things can see things we don’t even know exist. They could see so many different colors and possibly could have different senses like when some animals can see heat. These bitches are pretty bad ass because their claws move so fast the water literally boils around it. They’re also so strong that aquariums aren’t usually allowed to have them because if they hit the glass it will shatter and it will eat all the other fish/snails. When the mantis shrimp strikes it’s food you can see light and steam being made from how fast it’s claws can move. The claws move as fast as a bullet being shot our of a 22 caliber rifle even though it’s underwater.

This is the only thing I’ve learned all year in biology and I thought it was cool.
