About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

I like how it breaks the glass like he was saying "I heard you were talking shit like I wouldn't find out."

The mantis shrimp's punch has a force of 1500 Newtons, which tells you how much of a sissy punch Newton must have had.

Cool. A water and fighting type Pokemon.

Crab hides in the glass... Mantis shrimp chases and breaks the glass... Reminds me of The Shining, "Here's Johnny!"

[LegoZombieKiller]

It also eats gunpowder like cereal with mercury as the milk

[Alaemortis]

The sound of glass breaking underwater....

Mantis shrimp must love to hear punchlines when hungry.

Basically the mantis shrimp is the chuck norris of the ocean

These guys are so cool. Got a small peacock mantis in my tank, and he's really fun to watch.

[Akaryusan]

basically the mantis shrimp is a crustacean honey badger except it traded defense for attack

[MrColeholden]

"and i call him snuggle's"

[Torakunx]

mantis shrimps have 16 color-receptive cones, where as humans only have 3 :/ which is red, green and blue. The rainbow we humans see stems from just 3 colors so imagine mantis-shrimps's rainbow! created from 16 COLORS...A THERMONUCLEAR BOMB OF LIGHT AND BEAUTY * - *
