    this is an interesting colonial creature made up of 2,000+ hotwheels.
    if you stare at it a long time you will notice it moving very, very slowly...

    You know that's an owl baby, right?





















    This is the Mantis Shrimp which has the most complicated visual system of any animal by a factor of 2. Humans have 3 color receptors Mantis Shrimp have 16 color receptors.

    mechanically they also have a 3-axis system of focusing whereas humans
    only have two. something like that, anyway.


    but if you watch video of their eyes in action, you'll see the pupils 'scanning'
    back and forth like a cylon from the original battlestar galactica. it's super-
    crazy-wild-awesome.... the closest thing we'll ever see to an extra-terrestrial
    visual system, i'm sure.
