Record holder: the mantis shrimp1 (shot on a Sony A7S iii with 90mm macro lens). Keep reading below for more on this curious crustacean. cc: @fab.aroundtheglobe _ 1 From @fab.aroundtheglobe: “Mantis shrimps are multiple record holders. 🥊Their claws can strike with a speed up to 23 m/s and thereby producing vapor-filled bubbles that hit their prey for a second time. One could call it a natural plasma gun. 👀Their eyes are the most complex visual systems we know. While human eyes only have 3 different types of photoreceptor cells, mantis shrimps (depending on the species) have up to 16 enabling them to see UV and polarized light.”
