Mantis shrimp punches are incredibly powerful, comparable to a .22 caliber bullet in force and speed. They can deliver a blow of up to 60 miles per hour, breaking through hard shells and even glass. This power is achieved through a unique combination of biological springs, latches, and levers that allow them to strike much faster than with muscle power alone. #thelazyaquarist #mantisshrimp #fishreels | The Lazy Aquarist
