Wow - there's so much to learn about the mantis shrimp!

I'm glad we're bigger than them, though!

Edit: moved to the Lounge so everyone can enjoy!

I can't believe I just watched a video on mantis shrimp for 16 1/2 minutes.

I guess that would be the same as watching a 16 minute video on how great BBA is to us planted people. LOL

Thank you for the link. I did find it very intresting.

PS. from that page :"In 2006, Patek's team announced an even faster animal part: the mandible of the trap-jaw ant."
