Actually, it turns out that mantis shrimp see less colors than humans. They have 16 kinds of light detectors in their eyes, but their brains are so simple that they can't mix colors, so while a human can see millions of colors with 2 kinds, the shrimp can see 16.

Mantis shrimps are famous for their devastatingly powerful punch they use to kill other animals. In the movie Ratatouille a rat who is good at cooking sits on a bad cook's head under his hat and controls him to cook great meals.
