We’ve got our eyes on you 👀

Using 3D imaging and computational modeling, researchers from The University of Western Australia, the UWA Oceans Institute, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, and MBARI compared the structure and function of the eyes of hyperiid amphipods, shrimp-like crustaceans that dwell in the dim waters of the ocean’s twilight zone. 

Hyperia has evolved eyes that keep watch on a wide field of view but can only visualize objects nearby. Phronima—commonly known as the barrel amphipod—can see well into the distance, but at the cost of a very narrow field of view. Phronima has solved this problem by evolving a second pair of eyes for wide, but poor, peripheral vision.

While sailing in the Mediterranean sea, in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) flashed the Italian Amerigo Vespucci with light signal asking «Who are you?», the full rigged ship answered «Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy». The US ship replied «You are the most beautiful ship in the world».

Happy pride month 2024 Autobot roll out 🏳️‍🌈🚗!!!😊💕 redrawing

Uhhh can I interest you in some snails instead of shrimp this time? I started with this design, which I found on the internet

I wanted to make more variety tho, so here's big snail and some slugs.

even bigger snail...

and the pot snail

originally I made snails and slugs to put around people's bases if I was in a minecraft server since they're simple and you can change the colours easily.(you can also periodically move them) I haven't put the bigger ones anywhere tho.
