i think the coolest thing would be to see a new color

right so theres this thing called the bullet shrimp 

and not only are these things totally badass and stylish

they have 16 colour cones in their vision

us humans only have 3

these things can literally see over 5 times as many colours as we can

literally they can look at what we would see as a completely black space and see thousands of colours we don’t even know exist

do you understand how fuCKING COOL THAT IS

not only that but they can punch a hole in an aquarium tank.

that’s pretty fucking radical.

not only punching through aquarium walls too

these little demon-spawn can punch so hard and so fast that

IT BREAKS WATER PHYSICS

their punches cause water to boil and create a bubble underwater, which kills its prey if it has contact with it, cooking them from the outside

BUT IT DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO MAKE CONTACT

the collapsing bubble sends out a shockwave strong enough to kill anything in a 10 cm diameter due to pure pressure 

this fabulous sob is death incarnate and don’t forget that   

Even better - the inside of that little bubble before it collapses is over 400 million degrees Kelvin, hotter than the surface of the Sun.

i am scared of a shrimp

Guys, that’s a peacock mantis shrimp.

Mantis shrimp are my FAVORITE THING.

swiftyuki- their mistake is an easy one to make, mantis shrimp can also do the claw thing with the same acceleration as the pistol shrimp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_shrimp

I’m really aware about the claw thing. That only really happens if you piss them off enough or under other special circumstances.
