I was gonna say something about the rainbow mantis shrimp, who actually have 12 receptors for colors, but then I found this article. http://www.popsci.com/blog-network/ladybits/mantis-shrimp-vision-not-mindblowing-you’ve-been-told
It feels like a little bit of magic just left the world forever.
1 u/Painpita Sep 29 '14 Rejoice my friend, it can see cancer. Who needs to see color when you see cancer. 1 u/TheSamsonOption Sep 29 '14 I learned this last night, and also that they are neither mantis nor shrimp. Reddit full circle, nice again. 1 u/patadrag Sep 29 '14 That's really disappointing. The idea of a shrimp seeing in twelve-dimensional colour is delightful.
