Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.
the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Spawning Purple Urchins. Recent research concludes " leads us to propose that the sea urchin nervous system in its entirety comprises an “all-brain” rather than a “no-brain” . From Single-nucleus profiling highlights the all-brain echinoderm nervous system.

I'm finding these by the hundreds stranded on the beach here. I think they are half dried man o wars. Hard to see on the picture, but the outer part of the 'sail' is definitely pink. Some seem to have tentacles. They are between 4 and 6 cm.
Any opinion for identification? #addOcean #ocean #beachlife

I put #addOcean in another marine life post I made, and it was never added. I'm making another attempt now.

A couple of Audouin's gulls by the sea shore. There are very small waves and ripples on the dark blue water. The gulls are poised with their feet on the water by knee level. Their head, neck, breast and belly are whites, the wings are grey, the tail is black. The eyes form a black spot on the white head. The bills and legs are dark red. They have a slender build and are more elegant than most gulls.
