Oct 1, 2010: Shrimp DeJour
Behold the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, like something Disney animators would dream up... on acid.
He looks like a Harlequin clown of the sea, but he's really a killer clown from the deep.
He esentially bludgeons his prey to pieces, to eat their bloody pulp.
Quote:
Looks sure are deceiving here because this guy is what's known as a smasher, with club shaped raptorial appendages that it uses to repeatedly smash its prey until it can gain access to the soft tissue for consumption.
It is reported to have a "punch" of over 50mph. The fastest punch of any living animal.
