@ricoexplains: To a damselfish, a coral reef glows in ultraviolet. To a bass, prey appears only in ripples and flashes. To a blind cavefish, vision comes through vibration, not eyes. Fish have evolved sensory systems completely alien to us. Their eyes and perception systems are tuned for survival, not beauty—and that makes them even more fascinating. This video explores the hidden spectrum of how fish see: ultraviolet markings, polarization grids, mechanosensory waves, and flickers of bioluminescence. You’ve never seen the ocean like they do.
