Hi guys! This is Insanely Crazy Biology 1

This is about the Mantis Shrimp, an underwater creature, that is almost unmatched in terms of attacks. Also, mantis shrimps are not Shrimps.

There are two main types of Mantis Shrimp: Smashers and Spearers

Spearer mantis shrimps use 2 mantis-like things to ensnare prey. They are more like ambush hunters, unlike Smashers (usually searching hunters)

Smasher mantis shrimps use two protruding long and round stuff to smash prey apart. Hermit Crab shells are often destroyed using this way.
some interesting fights include:
