Beautiful Eyes | Mantis Shrimp

 



The mantis shrimp has quite beautiful and unusual eyes. 
While humans have 3 photoreceptors, mantis shrimp have 16 photoreceptors and can see in ultra violet, visible and polarised light while moving each eye independently. 

This mantis shrimp is hidden in the sand waiting to catch any prey that passes by. 

These are some of the marine life we may see on a scuba diving trip with Wild Kenya Safaris.
