An octopus is on the hunt for shell fish. Did you know the mantis shrimp is one of the most dangerous shell fish in the ocean?

[@WadcaWymiaru]

Had no idea there was something that could defend itself against an octopus like this!!!!!

@@kingindra9051 mantis shrimp are NOT predators. Just because they can defend themselves from a predator doesn't mean that they automatically jump over them in the food chain. A mantis shrimp is an ambush hunter not a predator.

Mantis used sword dance _Mantis attack raised sharply_ Octopus used protect _it failed_ Mantis used bullet punch _insert super effective sound effect_ It's super effective

Mantis shrimp can swim so efficiently. They look like they just fly around. Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bullet. 🤘🏼💀

[@Radagast-]

Breaking: a mantis shrimp is neither a mantis nor a shrimp! However, while it's not a horse, a horseradish is a radish.

That octopus literally didn't know what hit it. Suddenly raised all of its arms from shock of the force. LMAO

Did anyone else hear the mantis shrimp say “I have been trained in your jedi arts” as he posed?

Were it not for the octopus being boneless, it would've already shattered from that punch.

[@bennu547]

The mantis shrimp does have the fastest punch in the world after all. That’s sure to break some bones

[@ThePrufessa]

No way it breaks bones with a hit like that. It's hard but not bone breaking hard. You have to crush bones to break them.

[@daltonv5206]

@@ThePrufessa I'm pretty sure it cracks shells with it

@@daltonv5206 I'm pretty sure it does too. But shells are not as strong as BONE. bone is stronger than steel.

@@ThePrufessa bone of the same *weight* is stronger than steel how ever steel is denser than bone and no animal has bones that weigh as much or are as dense as steel. Also mantis shrimp can break bone.

[@waltonsimons12]

You have to respect this shrimp's commitment to avoiding violence where possible. The first thing he did was try to walk away from the fight. When that proved impossible, he gave the octopus an unambiguous warning. Only when it became clear that there was no way to avoid violence did he go on the attack.

I guess it's to prevent getting tired, Since Mantis Shrimps are known for their agressive behaviour and for being the second highest predator in the ocean's food tree, only behind the Shark
