Mantis Shrimp

I wouldn't want to fight this guy in the ring.







A little shrimp with a big punch. As strong as a bullet this small crustacean delivers punches strong enough to kill its prey in a single strike.

In the world of nature the size of the animal says little about its power. This crab shows that nature can disguise its heaviest hitters in the body of a shrimp less than ten centimeters long.
