Did you know Sea Urchins do not have eyes like ours?

Here is an interesting fact about these so-called 'Porcupines of the Sea.'

Sea Urchins are said to lack what we typically think of as eyes, but they possess a light-sensing structure called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors help them detect changes in light around them and act as a navigator to steer them away from predators while underwater.

So, they do not see images like we do, which is one of the things that sets them apart from us. Interested in learning more about nature? Comment below on what you would like to learn!
