This Tiny Shrimp Hits Like a Bullet! 💥🦐 | Mantis Shrimp

🦐💥 This may be one of the most incredible tiny predators in the ocean.

The Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus) is famous for its extraordinarily powerful striking appendages.

Some mantis shrimp strikes can produce cavitation bubbles in the water, whose collapse releases additional energy against the target.

But its weapon isn't its only superpower.

Its highly specialized eyes can detect information humans cannot see, including polarized light and, in many species, ultraviolet wavelengths.
