They possess an exoskeleton with a cuticle made of chitin, often mineralised with calcium carbonate, a body with differentiated segments, and paired jointed appendages. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. They form an extremely diverse group of up ...
Humans have only three. The spectrum of colors we see comes from three base colors: green, blue and red. The mantis shrimp can see a spectrum of colors derived from 16 different hues.

Mantis shrimp spend a majority of their lives living in burrows, reefs or crevices and generally only leave to mate or hunt for nearby food sources. Mantis shrimp act as an ecological importance ...
In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. Arthropods are invertebrate animals with a chitinous exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed legs.
