E.g.

Witch Doctor Mantis.

Give me five!

That crab?

So this is a mantis shrimp.

Put a crab inside it.

And softshell crab?

You can't teach a crab how to walk straight.

No, just a little crab.

This was how mantis shrimps make these very fast strikes.

Turning rocks over revealed this crab spider grappling with a beetle.

That praying mantis is made from a single sheet of paper no scotch tape, no cuts.

So this is a mantis shrimp. There are the eyes up here, and there's that raptorial appendage, and there's the heel.

Marty learnt the Japanese art of pouring beer for everyone, i ate a huge amount of

So that's kind of a caoníma versus the héxiè, that's very good.

Well it turns out it's these neuromodulators, just like the neuromodulators in that little tiny ganglion in the crabs.

It's a great chance to catch a glimpse of everything from snow crab to cut flowers being offered for sale.

But of course, we can deal with that because we can produce artificial spines.

Now, this is pattern thinking. That praying mantis is made from a single sheet of paper no scotch tape, no cuts.

And mantis shrimp are called mantis shrimp after the praying mantises, which also have a fast feeding appendage.

If he sees a fossil crab, he says, 'It looks just like a regular crab, there's no evolution.

So, actually, I started working on what's called the mantis shrimp a few years ago because they make sound.

So the next and final question was, well, how much force does a mantis shrimp produce if they're able to break open snails?

He may be no larger than a pin head, but this crab larva is an arrow worm's worst nightmare.

And we also found this spectacular yeti crab that lives near boiling hot hydrothermal vents at Easter Island.

So this is a potent force in fluid systems, and just to sort of take it one step further, I'm going to show you the mantis shrimp approaching the snail.

looking on the beach and seeing this detailed ruggedness and then if I took an even smaller bit of this, I get the level of a crab's point of view.

There are four species of Potamon in the Balkans, and P. fluviatile is replaced by Potamon ibericum in northeastern Greece.

What they're getting at is that on the back of this crab the foodstuff here is this very strange bacteria that lives on the backs of all these animals.

Well, a human, one of your legs works like two legs of a trotting dog, or works like three legs, together as one, of a trotting insect, or four legs as one of a trotting crab.

And if we slow it down a bit, this is the mantis shrimp the same species recorded at 1,000 frames a second, played back at 15 frames per second.

What we discovered is whether you look at the leg of a human like Richard, or a cockroach, or a crab, or a kangaroo, the relative leg stiffness of that spring is the same for everything we've seen so far.

So, a quick strike like that. And if we slow it down a bit, this is the mantis shrimp the same species recorded at 1,000 frames a second, played back at 15 frames per second.

And mantis shrimp are called mantis shrimp after the praying mantises, which also have a fast feeding appendage. And I started to think, well, maybe it will be interesting, while listening to their sounds, to figure out how these animals generate very fast feeding strikes.

And I don't know whether they actually saw crab in it, or imagined that one might be, but whatever the case, they would leap off the bottom and go through the water and land right on top of this coral head, and then the web between the arms would completely engulf the coral head, and they would fish out, swim for crabs.
