Looks like an alien demon and it's one inch punch could pierce your skin and possibly break a bone, it's like a .22 bullet. What a fascinating creature.

If you enjoy crustaceans, please consider the coconut crab

  • Looks like OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK

  • Operates by entirely normal crab principles

  • Can crush your skull, probably, nobody's been dumb enough to test

Sadly, no longer true facts. It was recently discovered that the mantis shrimp's 12 different color-detecting thingies each work separately and they can't blend them together at all. They actually see a lot fewer than us.

Incredibly sad shrimp facts deeper-sadness
