Mantis Shrimp Are Wicked Creatures

I’m not sure how I made it this long without knowing about Mantis Shrimp. Holy crap. These things are crazy. I’ve recently begun to browse a few videos on YouTube that showcase some Mantis Shrimp and I’m kinda creeped out.

Check this out:

I’ll probably have nightmares tonight, ha.

So I decided to check into these guys a bit.

• They are mostly solitary and very aggressive
• They are divided into two types: smashers and spearers
• The Smashers can generate enough force with their attack to break glass
• They have some of the most advanced vision of any living species
• Some people eat them as seafood
• Some people keep them in aquariums

Interesting stuff.
