The club actually creates a miniature sonic-boom underwater because of the speed that’s what makes the clicking sound

[@crustaceanking3293]

it also makes a cavitation bubble that's hotter than the surface of sun

[@giratinathe_distorter7480]

@@crustaceanking3293 that’s pistol shrimp, which this guy also apparently owns

[@mrdeafter]

@@giratinathe_distorter7480 actually mantis shrimp also has it but it close range one compared to pistol shrimp medium range Fun fact : when mantis shrimp strike it actually hit target twice in single punch by it club then shockwave after and both of them capable of killing a prey by itself

[@soulman4292]

Probably the most badass animal in the entire world. Literally a superhero/villain depending on how you see them. They are beautiful creatures that can actually break human bones if antagonized.

[@spaceman83]

It heats the water up so much it evaporates it

[@SeSaGaming]

"Is kai attached to you?" Pfft- I'd be attached too if I got free food everyday!

[@Daily_Meat_Dealer]

It's crazy that not only do they have the strongest punch in the animal kingdom, they also have some of the most advanced eyes in the world

[@seemlees891]

I thought the pistol shrimp was stronger but doesn't use it's ability much because it's so powerful it can actually damage itself? Idk I'ma have to look it up later.

[@Daily_Meat_Dealer]

@@seemlees891 the pistol shrimp fills up a cavity that is in its claw with water and it clamps down on it with so much force that the water shoots out like a water jet towards its prey. It's extremely powerful and pretty neat, but it isn't necessarily a punch

[@seemlees891]

@@Daily_Meat_Dealer ohhh. That's actually really cool. I knew the pistol shrimp was pretty strong but I didn't know how they produced that amount of power.

[@Daily_Meat_Dealer]

@@seemlees891 yeah I would recommend watching a slow motion video of them in action, the way nature engineered them to quite literally have water guns is incredible

1. Can you train him to do any tricks? 2. What’s his favourite treat? 3. Does he really not like to have any other fish or other aquatic companions in the tank with him?

[@strider5119]

Not really any tricks. You can teach them to be hand fed though. And you "can" have fish in the tank, but whether or not a mantis shrimp will kill them or not depends entirely on him. I know of fish staying with a mantis for over a year, then randomly disappearing. others get killed straight away. One of the times I dropped live food in, my mantis wasn't hungry. He gave it a small warning punch (tiny click) to get away from his cave and he ignored it for a day. Then when he felt up to the meal, he walked up, knocked it super hard and ate it lol

[@eonkshabonk]

He is just the cutest little killer!! 🥺

[@ghost-stoneanimations8136]

He's so beautiful and he's just moving around so smoothly that it's satisfying... How old is he anyways?

[@CarvalhoCaldeira]

Could I say that manthis shrimp is the peak of crustacian evolution? This creature is nothing else than incredible.

[@Racejakestar]

I like that he doesnt get it twisted and knows the shrimp likes him cause he gives him food

[@zyul6420]

Funny how people just think that animals can have special attachments with humans... Then you say the truth that he looks for you because of food. Animals really think of feed for life instead of just once.

[@MidnightHedgehog365]

I think it depends on the animal. Of course the bigger the brain the more likely the animal will create emotional attachments. Just like how we're babies we can't comprehend anything but who gives us food and wanting food but as we grow we develop attachments and social structures to our family. Other animals with social structures are the same way. I love my mom but of course I would feel differently if she stopped feeding me as a child. It is through caretaking that emotional bonds can flourish as you care for the ones that take care of you and provide some sort of enrichment in your life. This mantis shrimp tho. I think he just wants food and nothing more 😂

[@rudolfdirks9253]

@@MidnightHedgehog365 not a bigger brain, but a mire creviced brain. Also, animals like crows, dogs, dolphins and some other animals can in fact have emotional attachments to other animals (including humans of course).

[@MidnightHedgehog365]

@@rudolfdirks9253 yeah that's what I meant but I thought it would be better understood if I just said bigger Brain. There are tons of animals that develop emotional attachments and friends with others of their own species and other species. That's how animals become "Bonded". So when you go to adopt a cat for instance they might not let you adopt the cat without the other because they're a "bonded pair". Mammals are intelligent and are capable of more than just baseline instincts and no higher thought Humans should not forget we are just mammals as well that's why I used a baby as an example because it is safe to assume that if we can do and feel something it is likely that other animals do too. Monkeys mourn their dead and cry and hug each other for crying out loud that is definitely an emotional attachment.

[@afri205]

@@MidnightHedgehog365 about human/primate babies, they actually form emotional attachment not entirely based on who feeds them. There was a super unethical experiment done with monkey infants where they were taken from their mothers and given the choice between two fake moms: a wire form of a monkey holding a bottle of milk and a soft form of a monkey covered in a warm blanket. The babies preferred the warm comfort over the food.

@@afri205 I remember watching a video about that experiment it’s so terrible those poor babies

This is probably a stupid question but due to his power I’m curious, what do you think would happen in a fight between the mantis shrimp and a full sized lobster(the big ones that are normally food, not sure on a species sorry)? I understand the lobster could crush it easily but the mantis shrimp seems much faster and I’m curious as to how they’re power would stack up against a lobster that size?

[@WJCMcdbm]

Ive seen a vid of a mantis shrimp hitting a lobster in the exact middle of its head (in all fairness it was a relatively small one) and then it went limp so presumably died/passed out
