Way back in college when I was in a marine biology class, the professor introduced the mantis shrimp by saying that they’ve been known to crack aquarium glass—that got my respect real quick.

This is the closest to a realistic Pokemon battle we can get. That crustacean literally goes for an instant Mach Punch.

The octopus got hit so hard that he started to camouflage lol

[errorinn]

When mantis does that pose he looks like a straight up sea God

[bilbotdufflez]

Love how he says “the octopus is going to find some real shrimp”… if I’m not mistaken… I think that’s the realest shrimp he will ever encounter

[kevinm.]

Imagine having no bones and getting punched so hard you immediately start your camouflage response lmao

[saveme]

Mantis - “you don’t want these hands” bro
Octopus- “ oh yeah I got 8”
Mantis * cracks him right in the head*
Octopus - “ Where I’m I”

[MindfulBodybuilding]

Bro the mantis hits so clean, he knew his punch would knock his own body back and did a perfect flip with the momentum to slip away from the octopus, not wasting movement.

Seen another video just before this one of a mantis shrimp punching a hole through a fisherman's brand-new boot and into his foot, causing great pain and creating an open wound. These critters are incredibly powerful, mad respect.

Octopus is like “Ight bruh chill, CHILL”

[nemesis]

The mantis didn't even tried to run away at first it literally just looked for a better battlefield
