Seeing Beyond Color: The Mantis Shrimp’s Visual Superpowers

Join us as we dive into the mantis shrimp’s astonishing eyes: a spectrum of 12–16 color receptors, polarization vision, and trinocular depth from one eye. Learn how interval decoding keeps their vision fast and practical in the reef, how polarization reveals hidden cues, and why specialization—not sheer complexity—drives their remarkable sight.
