Transcript
00:00The peacock mantis shrimp snaps its claw with lethal bullet-shredding kinetic force right now.
00:06That raptorial appendage accelerates at over 50 feet per second, generating extreme underwater shockwaves.
00:13Common sense says the physical impact cracks shells, but the real destruction comes from boiling water instantly.
00:20The sudden cavitation bubble collapses violently, generating extreme temperatures for a fleeting microsecond.
00:27The extreme heat and shockwaves stun or kill prey instantly, even before the claw strikes.
