The world in the eyes of a mantis shrimp

The mantis shrimp has a pair of powerful clips that can shatter glass and even break a person's fingers when it attacks. Biologists say the mantis shrimp ranks second in the list of animal attack speed. Mantis shrimp are very good at ambush. A powerful attack can put the enemy to death. Lobsters wearing calcified armor, standing on their toes and quietly passing crabs also often become the target of mantis shrimp attacks. The mantis shrimp's two hammer knuckles can destroy the crab's nervous system and kill it instantly. It uses its barbed arms under the head to stab its food quickly, much like a praying mantis.
