An animal with 1000 eyes was found

It has 1000 eyes, if one escapes from one of them, the other one catches it immediately… The most interesting thing in the animal kingdom is that there is no rival creature in terms of vision.
Have you ever seen an animal with 1000 eyes? If one of them escapes, another one catches them immediately. There is no new creature yet that rivals that creature in terms of vision.
The eye is one of the most important organs of a human or a living creature . It is known that animals generally have 2 eyes, but this animal has completely overthrown all that is known. It has exactly 1000 eyes .

If one of them escapes, another one catches them immediately. There is no new creature yet that rivals that creature in terms of vision.

THERE ARE SHELLS

Chitons are armored shelled molluscs. Some chiton species have eyes, or ocelli, embedded in their shells with lenses made of aragonite. Although these eyes are small and primitive, they function as sensory organs and provide true vision, allowing the mollusk to recognize shapes and light.

Other chiton species have smaller “eye spots” that work like individual pixels, creating a visual censorship across the shell, similar to how a fly’s eye works.

A NEW STUDY HAS BEEN PUBLISHED

A new study published in the journal Science has revealed how these two different visual systems arise. The Boffins conclude that chiton ancestors evolved their eyes in four different states, leading to different ways of seeing in different species today.

Rebecca Varney, lead author of the study from the University of California Santa Barbara, said: “We knew there were two types of eyes, so we weren’t expecting four independent origins. The fact that chitons evolved eyes four times in two different ways is quite surprising to me.”

Kip found that eyespots evolved between 260 and 200 million years ago, around the time the first dinosaurs appeared. Larger shell eyes evolved approximately 200 to 150 million years ago. Both later evolved again; shell eyes from about 150 million to 100 million years ago, eyespots from about 75 million to 25 million years ago.

The Boffins also set out to unravel why these evolutionary differences emerged between different chiton species.

Chitons have slits in their shells where the optic nerves pass into their bodies. The team found that chitons with eyespots had more of these than chitons with larger eyecups.
