Scyllarus is a genus of slipper lobsters, which includes the ‘Mantis Shrimp'. The Mantis Shrimp is known for its eyes, which are the most advanced eyes currently available. The Mantis Shrimp's Hyperspectral eyesight aids it in many ways, allowing it to more easily recognise certain foods, detect predators, and send secret messages to its friends. This creature is being studied in the hopes that the advanced features of its eyes may yield advances in optics technology for humans.
