Mantis Shrimp Throw Super-Fast Punches
Peacock mantis shrimp can accelerate their club-like appendages at 10,000 times the force of gravity, creating tiny shock waves that stun prey. The strike is so fast it briefly forms bubbles that collapse and emit light.
๐ก Fun detail:
Their clubs are so tough that engineers study them to design stronger body armor.
