The Peacock Mantis Shrimp


Check this little guy out, The Peacock Mantis Shrimp, came across it a little while ago. Besides its attractive colorful beauty, I wouldn't dare go near it! It is said they are known to have one of the fastest and strongest punches in the animal kingdom.
  
Its raptorial appendages strikes with a comparable velocity of a 22 caliber bullet. Take your pick, that's like 23m/s or 75ft/s or 51mph. Not only that, it moves so fast it generates a mini shockwave that creates a vacuum pocket, which essentially boils water, and generates light. Man now that is awesome, what a creature!



Slow Motion!
