The most interesting animal, I think, is the mantis shrimp. They can see 10 times the number of colors as humans, far into both the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums. And some have a claw that can crack a crab’s shell wide open. They can’t be stored in a normal aquarium because they’ll bust the glass.
