The shocking skill of the Mantis Shrimp is the "Underwater Explosion".

The mantis shrimp's power comes from its unique process of "building up" and "applying" power. The mantis shrimp's swept foot, the last and largest "leg" counting inward from the outside, is called the long segment, and the shell of this limb is elastic, so it can store power like a spring. There is a "latch" structure similar to the "bolt" on the foot, in the process of storing power, the extensor muscle contraction, the "bolt" locks the foot, so that it can not be stretched out, with the increase in power, the "spring" of the long section As the force increases, the long section of the "spring" gradually compresses.

Then the "bolt" is released and the foot pops out, releasing the blow instantly. In the case of the sickle-shaped, one-fingered mayfly, for example, it takes 700 microseconds to build up its power, but only 2 microseconds for the bolt to release. The Swept Foot is an extremely efficient power amplifier. When the bird-tailed mantis shrimp springs out at full speed, it accelerates at a staggering 104 kilometers per second, and a single blow takes only a few tens of milliseconds, but releases 1,501 nautical miles of force, which is equivalent to 2,600 times its own weight.

The mantis shrimp also has an invisible weapon, the underwater explosion. The bird-tailed mantis shrimp's swept feet push the water around it, creating a very high velocity current that suddenly lowers the water pressure. The water vaporizes to form bubbles, a phenomenon called cavitation. Therefore, the hammer blow of the mantis shrimp has the effect of "killing two birds with one stone". A single blow produces two releases of energy, the first being the "punch" delivered by the swept foot, and the second being the energy released by the collapse of the air bubbles under water pressure (equivalent to the "punch"). The second is the energy released when the bubble collapses under water pressure (50% to 280% of the "punch").

Introduction of Mantis Shrimp Habits:

The Mantis Shrimp is found inside the rocky crevices of reefs, and if any prey passes by, it will attack the prey with a sneak attack, just like a predator that waits for a rabbit. Of course, its domain is strong and its personality is quite ferocious.

Mantis shrimps visually perceive their environment through their compound eyes. They are able to process ultraviolet and polarized light as well as color; their ability to see is critical to their own success as hunters. The species also communicates through vibrations produced by contraction of the posterior muscles, which are known as rumblings in the stomata. These vibrations are used for territorial and defense purposes. They may produce vibrations while digging to warn potential predators or other species to keep their distance. Mantis shrimp are also able to detect odors in the water.

The mantis shrimp is extremely aggressive, vicious and territorial, and often appears fearless. Fish are its main enemy. When caught in the open, it always puts up a fight. Bird-tailed mantis shrimp struggling in the mouths of their hunters are difficult to swallow, and many are spat out again as they are. If you put a mantis shrimp into a large fish tank, it won't be long before the other critters in the tank will be eaten up by the mantis shrimp, so the mantis shrimp is only suitable for monoculture.
