Mantis shrimp rainbow dangerous.

Describes the ability of a color is determined by the number of cone cells in the eye. Man who had 3 cone cells (blue, red, and green) has a range of color combinations are more complete than the eyes of a dog that only has 2 cones, the blue and green.

Even so, human color vision is still less than the butterfly and mantis shrimp. Butterflies have 5 cones so that they can see a spectrum of colors that can not be processed by the human brain.

Mantis shrimp, which is one of the members of the sub-phylum Crustacea, could see more of the color spectrum than other animal species on earth. This is because the number of cone cells are embedded in the eyes of the mantis shrimp totaling 16 pieces.

Although it looks beautiful, but actually mantis shrimp is one of the most dangerous predators in the water. Mantis shrimp has 2 pieces in his front claws are capable of attacking with pace on par with the type of caliber-22 gun.

In addition to speed, the mantis shrimp attacks are feared because of their power to 1,500 Newton in less than 3/1000 sec. As a comparison, if the man has an arm with a tenth of the speed of the force, then people will be able to throw the ball up to orbit.

Because of this strength, the mantis shrimp is usually avoided as pets in aquariums. Besides being able to attack and kill the whole aquarium, mantis shrimp claw strength also proved capable of breaking the glass aquarium.
