Watch it punch it’s way straight through a clam shell and eat it.

I can’t decide if they’re more badass or terrifying.



They’re carnivores



Nature is awesome



I want Sir David Attenborough to tell me all about these things



Here it is punching a hole in a fisherman’s foot

I remember when I taught Psychology, I learned that mantis shrimp could see 12 different colors, including UV. Humans see everything in three colors.

Even more spend a lot of time and effort trying to get them out of a reef tank when they rode in on old-school live rock. Almost as hard as bristle worms to get rid of.

This ole baw did battle with one that was living in his aquarium. An interesting and slightly horrifying read.

I hadn’t until I read the book Fragment. I definitely recommend it. Actually, I should read it again
