(animal dictionary moon mode on!)

The Mantis Shrimp is an ambush hunter. It can deliver "punches" using its arm appendages to stun its prey. The amazing thing is that it can do this in less than a second and it needs to be slowed down several times in order for the human eye to see the punch clearly. One of my favorite Youtubers, Animalogic, actually did a video on the Mantis Shrimp and it's really good! https://youtu.be/t2jam1x5ki4

Another one of my favorite videos is one she did on vipers: https://youtu.be/xW1uRTIQzvA

And another one on secretary birds: https://youtu.be/difrBNjGwLo
