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.

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