skylick discovered 2 months ago- Thumb-splitters with strong claws and are very aggressive, plus they have astounding vision. The also use linear polarisation vision for navigation.

- From page: "A Swiss marine biologist and an Australian quantum physicist have found that a species of shrimp from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, can see a world invisible to all other animals."

- I'd like a gene splice to see the world in more light bandwidths... wow imagine how much we don't see!

- mantis shrimp not only have the ability to see colours from the ultraviolet through to the infrared, but have optimal polarisation vision -- a first for any animal and a capability that humanity has only achieved in the last decade using fast computer technology.

- From the page: "Colleagues at The University of Queensland have recently found a related species where the males reflect circular polarisation from their bodies, and hypothesized that circular polarisation vision is used for sexual signalling. Professor White smiles and says, "I think of that as the 'prawnographic' hypothesis.""
