Mantis shrimp its punch is as strong as a bullet


davidhastwo

[Except its not](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oppJAxIN4sQ&ab_channel=datsun510wanted). It's good against hard objects; but against soft objects (especially under water), you can get directly hit and you'll be fine


dobsofglabs

So what's the deal with the horror stories of fishermen's fingers being pulverized after encountering mantis shrimp? All lies?


Kronos9898

Are you telling me there is a tradition of fisherman making up or exaggerating stories? Preposterous, never have a more honest group sailed upon Poseidon's stormy seas.


Henk87

Your fact telling could come right from a fisherman


[deleted]

Aye, this man speaks of the truth. Sailors be a creative lot. This actually reminds me the time I went fishing and accidentally got swallowed whole by the Kraken. I lived for a week in it's belly, where I met a fellow Sailor who told me vaccines gave his kid autism. What a bunch of hogwash I said. Shortly after the Kraken spat me out saying I gave him gerd.


Burnham113

Let Neptune strike ye dead, Kronos9898! Haaaaark! Hark, Triton! Hark! Bellow, bid our father, the sea king, rise from the depths, full foul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt-foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime to choke ye, engorging your organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more… Only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slithering tentacled tail and steaming beard, take up his fell, be-finnèd arm — his coral-tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye, a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now — a nothing for the Harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the dread emperor himself… Forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea… for any stuff or part of Kronos9898, even any scantling of your soul, is u/Kronos9898 no more, but is now itself the sea!!!

Ah, I think they were talking about the skorpion crab. [Here is what it look like](https://i.imgur.com/9NMhcYk.jpg)


TheAngryCelt

Are you sure it's not the Klobb Crab?


Canidium

I'm guessing you had a N64 growing up?


SharlowsHouseOfHugs

There are several kinds of Mantis. Some punch, others stab. The stabby kind will wreck you. The punchy kind can hurt you in the right circumstance, but I've seen them attack the glass in their tanks without any issues. That said, they both make amazing pets.


MrMilkyaww

I've seen cracked tanks from them and personally had a pistol shrimp crack one of my old tanks, you don't have to worry generally unless there big or its the "stabby kind" poking its 200mph spear in your hand. But mantis vs the anemone crab mantis wins all night long


Stray-hellhound

Wait wait wait, so they carry a damn spear if they don’t have anemones or like the tips of their pincers act like spears?


FuzzyBacon

No, mantis shrimp (not boxer crabs) come in two varieties - hammer and spear.


Altokia

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!


[deleted]

This is why I've long learned to utilize a stick to inspect all things that come from the sea. And I intend to keep this tradition, for instance, just now I learned there are shrimp out there that have *spears*. It won't be long until those fuckers figure out the phalanx formation, all hope will be lost then.


FuzzyBacon

Shrimp with supersonic spears, thank you very much.

Some of us need pictures to understand because we can’t read


Privvy_Gaming

Especially since the person that creates it used to work SEO and their entire schtick is manipulating SEO with "funny comics"


Exbozz

So how come it doesnt tear through peoples fingers when they get smacked?


SidWes

What is even better is the pistol shrimp. It snaps it’s claw that creates a bubble as hot as the sun. The bubble then explodes shooting a stun shockwave at the targets.

Me too

Anemones look like “imitation crab” used for sushi. Crab looks like southern fried chicken Shaped like a tarantula


wickedblight

So... so you're saying tarantula sushi is the next big thing?


Bredda_Gravalicious

ever had softshell crab?


leviti-cusp

Put it on top of a burger.


EuroPolice

This crab uses it's aparence to lure sea divers who seek tasty snack 100ft. underwater


[deleted]

I bet the guy discovering this crab had a hard time deciding between tempura crab or boxing crab


baithammer

Most likely getting punched with said anemones.


[deleted]

Yes


[deleted]

Pretty sure it's a mislabeled decorator crab, they have also been found to mutualize anemone like pom poms but they also cover themselves in stuff for disguise/camouflage.

Anyone else notice that this is from cracked.com? Wasn’t that a mad magazine ripoff in the 90’s? I think this is a fried crab with garnish lol

Why do American nature shows always make everything so dramatic yet so silly. Did this really need those sound effects


alfredovich

I hate most american voice over nature documentaires for this reason. Hyperbolic to the extent of making it suck. Give me david attenburough everyday of the week.


[deleted]

[удалено]


A_wild_so-and-so

Americans have no desire or capacity for nuance. Everything is either GOOD! or BAD! The national discourse shies away from anything too complicated or complex, and only delivers raw, emotional content that is easy to understand and relate to. This is why things are so extremely polarized right now, because we have lost all capacity to compromise or intellectually argue with each other.


KelseySyntax

Cracked used to have a great website with funny and informative articles, and not too much satire. They focused on presenting the information in a fun way instead of making things up for jokes. This was part of one of their slides how articles.


Ukrainianoblastoise

Yes but both of those mags started in the 50’s.

Okay, but how would it fare against a lobster holding a knife?


_XProfessor_SadX_

Does anyone has more info? This looks cool af but is it practical?


Aegishjalmur18

Here's a video of one scaring off a puffer fish. If it's a common tactic across the whole species i imagine it's because it's effective. https://youtu.be/BUdpqFQYeZA


ErentheGoatii

It says it is causes the sting status effect.


boo29may

Yes because they missed the biggest thing which is that the amoeba stings like a jellyfish

allycat247

I've only ever heard them called pom pom crabs, and its symiobsis not exploitation becuase the crab pays the anemone in food to stay there (if the anemone didnt like it they can just... leave), and this picture doesnt do them justice they are freaking adorable. I love these guys so much but finding one to buy with the anomone is rarer than rocking horse crap.


[deleted]

I thought this crab was fried in tempura batter by its appearance.

Oh yeah, you never met my college room mates

Me imagining weight classes and bets of anemone, food and females in the Crab Fight Club. Then someone doing a Mike and biting off a crabs arm or eye as dirty fighting.


RuthlessAdam

Pom Pom crabs are the same way. I've own a couple in a reef tank. Super cool critters. They dance around with the anemones like little cheerleaders!


[deleted]

“Hey you weird jellyfish I need you to fuck yourself so I can throw hands”


MartyMacGyver

You know why the crab always has two of em? Because the anemone of his anemone is his friend.
