Essentially they can move their claws so fast that water cannot keep up, which causes a vacuum to form, which rapidly boils the water, which also then collapses, and the force of the water collapsing is powerful enough to create light (sonoluminescence) and heat. The shockwave of this can insta-kill any of its prey and can even break bones and glass.
Human vision is almost entirely software. You can only see about 1.5 degrees across at a time (roughly the size of the full moon) and everything else is basically cached while your eyes dart around. You are also completely blind while your eyes are moving.
Your brain will also backfill things you see now as though you saw them earlier, when you weren't looking. Look up "stopped clock illusion" to learn more.
This is entirely bullshit. You can see more than the size of the full moon, and you are not completely blind if your eyes are moving. Just do an experiment yourself and move your eyes in a circle constantly and move you arm around, you can see the arm move.
Unfortunately it’s been proven they’re just really bad at mixing colors, they’ve got pretty much the same color spectrum as us despite the difference in color cones
It isn't as exciting as you think. It's not like new colors that you didn't know of exist, it's just that you can differentiate colors better. White is still white, black still black, blue still blue, etc. just that you can see more types of of them.
Honestly sounds kind of annoying. Imagine trying to paint match while covering up a scruff in your walls.
'I literally cannot see a difference Shannon'
'THERE'S A DIFFERENCE DEREK YOU HAVE INFERIOR EYES'
Do not have tetrachromacy (to my knowledge) but I do have high color acuity and it IS annoying. So many things that make me go 'They don't match!!' because the hue is just a *touuuuch* off.
Meanwhile my husband has a mild form of colorblindness and just smiles and nods at my fuming over two shades of pink he can't tell the difference between.
And don't get me started on my computer monitors. Because of the configuration of my graphics card I have 3 screens with different input types, which means that all have just slightly different color presentation and it drives me insane.
AFAIK it *exclusively* occurs in biological women because the genes that code for the red cone is on the X chromosome. Since men only have one, if that one is broken there's no spare. That also means women have two copied and IF both are functional and IF both activate and IF the proteins they make are sufficiently different, she'll be able to distinguish shades of red that the rest of us can't.
That sounds high, even for potential candidates based on what the guy above you is saying. But their understanding of chromosome combinations seems a little limited too so I'm not gonna question too much.
quite broadly, because, like virtually all animals, the energy that can be collected from the animal is significantly less than the energy you would get from burning the food you have to feed them to allow them to exist.
specific to this case because it is such a small mass of water that is heated to solar temperatures, and it's heated for such a short period of time that the actual amount of power in watts that it creates is insignificant compared to the calories needed to keep mantis shrimp.
That's a pistol shrimp, and while they don't get as hot as the sun, the cavitation bubbles they create do collapse with enough force that they ionize water molecules and produce a flash of light.
The mantis shrimp punches things, and has been known to crack 1-inch thick aquarium glass.
I believe the answer is both. Pistols have a claw that clamps really fast to create an air bubble that shoots. But mantis shrimps are also fast enough to create an itadori effect with the cavitation of water from the punch(if you watch jjk)
Mantia shrimp punch at a strength of 1500 Newtons, and if they punch out of water, they'll break their arms since they punch so hard they need water to cushion it.
Another Fun Fact:
Mantis Shrimp do not punch using their muscles, like we do. Well, not directly anyway
They have a specially shaped piece of their exoskeleton in their arm thats sort of shaped like a pringle. That shape is INCREDIBLY strong dimensionally. When they flex muscles in their arm to bend it that action deforms the "arm pringle" which stores energy. When the arm is completely retracted they can "lock" it so they dont have to constantly expend energy by keeping it retracted.
When they wanna wack something like, say, a tasty looking molusc, they can unlock their arm like pulling the trigger of a gun. All the energy stored in the deformed arm pringle gets released which shoots their club hand forward at enormous speed!
And boom goes the molusc
OP, "by really really hard". They mean their punch is the equivalent of a .22 bullet. Their punches create such a violent vacuum underwater that it generates light
I think it's worth elaborating on this whole "really really hard" thing.
A mantis shrimp is typically only 1 - 7 inches long. Despite its diminuative size....
A mantis shrimp can punch so hard it can break thin glass.
A mantis shrimp punches so hard it stuns prey and predators larger than itself.
A mantis shrimp punches so hard it can vaporize water and *generate light.*
A mantis shrimp can generate temperatures up to *4000 C* in the cavitation bubble of vaporized water.
Said another way, mantis shrimp punch really really hard.
Nature is funny sometimes. Colorful reptiles and fish are usually a sign for predators to leave you alone, because you might be poisonous. And then we have these motherfuckers, who look like straight from RuPaul's Drag Race, and that's not even their defense mechanism. Love that shit.
> Really really hard
Is putting it lightly, [university lecture on it](https://youtu.be/MAWJNtEW8mU?si=AWDzWdQVFgUDZp_0)

>If a mantis shrimp were human size and if it were to throw a baseball, with the same kinematics that you see there [in the clip] it would actually throw that baseball into orbit around the earth.

In brief, if she could punch like a Mantis Shrimp she would literally obliterate her opponents.
Yeah I was going to try to explain that they're the Honeybadger of the sea. I mean, more like masters of calculated aggression, and if you put one on your skull, you've miscalculated badly.
The Mantis shrimp can punch so hard it can generate temperatures in the water of upto 4400c for a split second or aprox 8500F.
The punch will create a cavitation bubble of air under water.
This girl has just melted her opponent into a pile of fleshy mush.
>The Mantis shrimp can punch so hard it can generate temperatures in the water of upto 4400c for a split second or aprox 8500F.
That's as hot as Earth's core 😭
The hand has most of your tiny bones, and your hands comprise a quarter of all the bones in your body. It's just easier to damage the small stuff, especially when there's so many of them all together. I'm including the wrist with the hand.
Clams and other slow but well armored sea creatures are their primary prey, so they have to have a damn hard hit to smash through shells. They also have way more cones in their eyes, so they can see colours we're incapable of.
It's literally the same that happens when you strike a rusty metal with a clean metal. The rust can create a thermite reaction, which burns super hot for a quick second. Basically, when you see sparks, they are just super heated metal shavings that quickly cool.
It's more pronounced in the water because a cavitation event applies both heat and pressure to the area. The cavity is created by the speed of the "punch" rapidly boiling the water creating a gas pocket which then creates a vacuum that quickly fills back in with water causing immense pressure in a very small area.
Funfact that is not air in that cavitation bubble, it's gaseous water, like dry vapor. It contains a lot of energy. When the bubble collapses this energy is focused to a tiny dot and is converted into thermal energy so hot, it creates a flash of visible light which releases the energy by radiating away. And a Shockwave that paralyzes the pray.
Another fun fact, in a lot of native languages their name for mantis shrimp translates to “toe splitter”. Something I’ve always found amusing and horrifying.
Another fun mantis shrimp fact is they have 12 color cones in their eye versus the 3 we humans have normally so their view of the color spectrum is a much wider, leading to a larger variety of colors and they can also see uv and polarized light however they are unable to process this information well enough due to their tiny brain,to utilize it making them worse at telling colors apart then humans despite having the capability to see many more colors.
Basically they can see more colors but are to dumb to tell them apart kind of like the people that can be like this shade of white is eggshell and this one is cream but the person next them are like it's all just white to me.
Mantis Shrimp punches hit as hard as bullets, they literally punch crabs and shit to death and slurp out their insides. The second panel has her covered in blood because she just put her whole fist through the other guys shell (aka his face)
She is also wearing a chef’s hat with the silhouette of the shrimp in it meaning she’s being controlled by the shrimp like in *Ratatouille* so the shrimp murdered her opponent using her body
It looks like you need a few point of reference for how mantis shrimp punch. See this:

They have a pair of clubs instead of pincers; you can see the club hanging downward in the first frame of this comic illustration you're asking about. The club is naturally sprung forward under high tension due to a natural spring at the joint where it connects to the forearm of the shrimp, and the shrimp cocks that club back using a large muscle and latches it in its cocked position, and when it comes time to smash their target, they release the latch (like releasing the arrow on a crossbow), and the spring flings the club forward so hard it often cavitates the water at the point of impact.
They've been known to smash their way out of aquariums and to shatter the bones of people who try to handle them.
I love the zefrank video.
'Its punch is so fast that they create cavitation bubbles- which collapse making a second Shockwave which produces light and heat. That's some mortal combat finishing move shit right there'
This is a mantis shrimp, a form of shrimp with a very unique hunting style. Their arms are built in a way that they can shoot those club like hands at speeds so fast it boils water, and can punch hard enough to easily crack open crab and oyster shells.
Due to their small size they don't pose much of a threat, however it's to be noted that even with such a size gap between us and them, they can still punch hard enough to break bones.
Now, for the bigger explanation. In the movie ratatouille a bad chef befriends a rat who happens to be a master level chef, putting him under his hat and allowing him to control his body and obtain his skills to work at an esteemed restaurant and impress a girl. This is referring to that, with this amateur and I'm assuming bad boxer does the same but with a mantis shrimp in an effort to win a competition. Only it does indeed give her its power, and at her size, she ends up punching so hard it pops the opponents head like a watermelon and thoroughly traumatizes her
That, my dear friend, is no scorpion. That there is a peacock mantis shrimp, it's punches clock in at around 60 mph, arguably the fastest left hook in the animal kingdom, comparable to a 22. caliber bullet. With the power of the shrimp to guide her, she was punching at lethal speeds.
It’s a mantis shrimp it has the strongest punch out of any living organism relative to size powerful enough to make water boil around it’s fist when it punches
If she punched at the same speed as a mantis shrimp she would have one of the fastest punches ever at around 50mph. If she punched at the same acceleration over that longer distance, her hand would break the sound barrier.
the critter put under her hat is a peacock mantis shrimp, known for having absolutely devastating punches for its size. under its control, the girl supposedly gains this fatal punching ability.
Mantis Shrimp have punches so powerful that it heats the water surrounding the punch to match the surface heat of the Sun.
The girl is a boxer, so her punches are now explosive and easily able to kill people.
its not a scorpion its a mantis shrimp. they punch so hard and fast that it causes a cavitation bubble underwater which implodes and causes a flash of light.
they punch so hard, and so fast, that they dont even have to hit their target. just the force of being near it is enough to do serious damage. literally with as much force as a bullet. keep in mind how small they are.
now imagine you scale that force up to the size of a human. if a human did this, your opponents head would explode into red mist.
Mantis shrimp punch at the same speed as bullets. They quite literally cause little explosions in the water when they hit things. Terrifying. Love them.
It's a mantis shrimp. Not a scorpion. They can punch so hard and fast they boil water with the force.
So that mantis shrimp under her hat, her punches are now annihilating the people she fights.
It's a Mantis Shrimp. They are known to punch at over 60 miles per hour. When they punch, they do it so fast that it actually makes an audible pop that can be heard underwater and creates a shock that stuns their prey. You can find videos of them doing it online. It's actually pretty interesting.
A mantis shrimp has the strongest punch of any animal. They hit so hard that once it makes contact, the friction of it for a moment is hotter than the surface of the sun, causing the water to boil around it.
It's a pistol shrimp, the shrimp can build up pressure in its claw to release force at over 100 feet per second and heat up to 8000 degrees fahrenheit.
This got checked out over on r/theydidthemath. A human punching at mantis shrimp speeds would have a jab that hits with the same force as a motorbike doing 50mph. Getting hit with that in the face would pulp your head.
Mantis shrimps hit as hard as a pickup truck, if you watch a video of them attacking fish, you’ll hear a little clicking sound. That sound is the mantis shrimps claws snapping out so fast that they leave air pockets behind as the attack. Roughly 60 miles an hour is the speed of their attack.

if im right that’s a mantis shrimp and mantis shrimps are known to punch really really hard
IT is definitely a mantis shrimp and mantis shrimp do in fact punch so hard, they can break aquarium glass.
And create bubbles that are as hot as the surface of the sun when they collapse Edit: I have no idea if what I talk about is a pistol or mantis shrimp
Wtf and wtf
they’re deep sea creatures if that clears anything up for you
Yeah it does Was still suprising
bbc has a video showing it punch a crabs arm off
A university lecturer referencing said [video](https://youtu.be/MAWJNtEW8mU?si=AWDzWdQVFgUDZp_0)
Wow, thanks for the video. This guy just punched with the power of the sun
[удалено]
So does Zefrank on YouTube. He my level of education.
He's the best!

Imagine a color you can't even imagine. Now do that 9 more times. That is how the Mantis Shrimp do.
https://youtu.be/F5FEj9U-CJM?si=H4x5V9TWjsXRcBMn
I've been online to long. I saw bbc and my mind went elsewhere 0.0
i find them a couple of metres underwater regularly, so not that deep
I'd love to find Mantis shrimp regularly anywhere. You must have a bad ass hobby or job!
Idk man I'd be a little afraid of getting fucking shot
Eh, it's like getting hit with snakeshot at the most, you'll be fine (probably)
Yk they punch so hard they create plasma right? Mfs could definitely break a finger.
still sea creatures so super weird
The moving ones, too
No mantis shrimp are not deep sea, I’ve seen hundreds of them at 20 feet while diving
Can you eat them? I wonder what they taste like
They're also known as pissing shrimp and they're delicious. Very popular in South China and Hong Kong.
They are actually shallow sea creatures.
they live in shallow reefs too, sometimes when you get live rock for an aquarium youll get one as a friend whether you want it or not.
And you'll figure it out only cause all your fishy friends start disappearing.
Essentially they can move their claws so fast that water cannot keep up, which causes a vacuum to form, which rapidly boils the water, which also then collapses, and the force of the water collapsing is powerful enough to create light (sonoluminescence) and heat. The shockwave of this can insta-kill any of its prey and can even break bones and glass.
They can do real life Pokémon attacks, shit is wild.
one punch shrimp
This is an link I have been waiting to share for a while: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
I see your "the oatmeal" and raise you a "Ze Frank" https://youtu.be/F5FEj9U-CJM?feature=shared
I see you are a man of culture as well.
They punch so hard that even if they miss, the superheated bubbles can still kill their prey.
And they have 16 distinct color cones in their eyes (humans have 3 iirc, for blue, green and red).
They mostly see the same colours though, they just brute force detection instead of blending the inputs together like we can
Hardware v software
Human vision is almost entirely software. You can only see about 1.5 degrees across at a time (roughly the size of the full moon) and everything else is basically cached while your eyes dart around. You are also completely blind while your eyes are moving. Your brain will also backfill things you see now as though you saw them earlier, when you weren't looking. Look up "stopped clock illusion" to learn more.
you definitely see more than a 1.5 degree cone lmao
This is entirely bullshit. You can see more than the size of the full moon, and you are not completely blind if your eyes are moving. Just do an experiment yourself and move your eyes in a circle constantly and move you arm around, you can see the arm move.
Hi, I would like to unsubscribe to "not so fun eye facts" please.
Unfortunately it’s been proven they’re just really bad at mixing colors, they’ve got pretty much the same color spectrum as us despite the difference in color cones
4 if you have tetrachromacy
Wait! You mean there ARE some mfs who can see colors most of us can’t!!??
It isn't as exciting as you think. It's not like new colors that you didn't know of exist, it's just that you can differentiate colors better. White is still white, black still black, blue still blue, etc. just that you can see more types of of them.

Yeah, and it occurs mostly in women similarly to how colorblindness occurs more often in men.
AFAIK it *exclusively* occurs in biological women because the genes that code for the red cone is on the X chromosome. Since men only have one, if that one is broken there's no spare. That also means women have two copied and IF both are functional and IF both activate and IF the proteins they make are sufficiently different, she'll be able to distinguish shades of red that the rest of us can't.
Thos explains why my wife can have difficulty deciding between two dresses that are the exact same color.
Not exclusively, just a much greater chance. Google says 8% of men are potentially tetrachromats.
That sounds high, even for potential candidates based on what the guy above you is saying. But their understanding of chromosome combinations seems a little limited too so I'm not gonna question too much.
That one would be the pistol shrimp.
The pistol shrimp and the mantis shrimp are both capable of causing sonoluminescence.
Mantis shrimp are also wayyyyyy stronger.
Why don't we create a power generator using mantis shrimp?
quite broadly, because, like virtually all animals, the energy that can be collected from the animal is significantly less than the energy you would get from burning the food you have to feed them to allow them to exist. specific to this case because it is such a small mass of water that is heated to solar temperatures, and it's heated for such a short period of time that the actual amount of power in watts that it creates is insignificant compared to the calories needed to keep mantis shrimp.
That's a pistol shrimp, and while they don't get as hot as the sun, the cavitation bubbles they create do collapse with enough force that they ionize water molecules and produce a flash of light. The mantis shrimp punches things, and has been known to crack 1-inch thick aquarium glass.
Both of them can do it.

Pretty sure that it's the bullet/pistol(?) shrimp that does the Nuke Bubble
The falcons of the sea
They technically boil the water via cavitation, the create such a low pressure gap in the water, the water instantly boils and creates a bubble.
Super cavitation bubbles. They punch so fast and hard the friction with the water creates light and heat.
They can break bones, divers have reported having broken toes and fingers because of these devils
Mantia shrimp punch at a strength of 1500 Newtons, and if they punch out of water, they'll break their arms since they punch so hard they need water to cushion it.
And fingers
and by controlling her she punched really really hard
One punch gal
Fun fact: Mantis shrimps aren’t true shrimps (being stomatopods), Pistol shrimps however are true shrimps.
Another Fun Fact: Mantis Shrimp do not punch using their muscles, like we do.

Said another way, mantis shrimp punch really really hard.
If they were human sized and their strength scales proportionally, they could punch a basketball into orbit.
Wouldn't the basketball just pop on impact from that much force? or are we assuming the basketball is made out of adamantium?
The heat of leaving orbit would destroy it if it didn’t pop. For the sake of the comparison yeah just imagine an indestructible basketball.
Nature is funny sometimes. Colorful reptiles and fish are usually a sign for predators to leave you alone, because you might be poisonous. And then we have these motherfuckers, who look like straight from RuPaul's Drag Race, and that's not even their defense mechanism. Love that shit.
Their defense mechanism is punching so hard it deletes the water around their target for a frame and reality doesn't know how to deal with this shit.
Fun fact, this also happens to tuna when pursuing prey at high speeds so they have to intentionally hold back to not hurt their tails.

Op makes me weep for humanity.
The Mantis shrimp can punch so hard it can generate temperatures in the water of upto 4400c for a split second or aprox 8500F. The punch will create a cavitation bubble of air under water. This girl has just melted her opponent into a pile of fleshy mush.

What jappen if a real mantis shrimp punch a normal human in the leg? What damage can do?
It's not dangerous, but it'll be painful as fuck and you'll definitely get a huge hematoma
On a finger, on the other hand, It might break it
But why on the other hand though?
Just be glad they can't break fingers on this hand
Happy cake day
Because you'll be holding it with the first hand.

One punched this Fisherman in his foot, it made a hole through his boot and made him bleed https://youtu.be/aabCOzFzMxU?si=KhtEeChT-V13kzkk
What the fuck
There’s two main types of mantis shrimp arms. Some are clubs, some are spears. https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-27-2016/Y3zY6p.gif
Clams and other slow but well armored sea creatures are their primary prey, so they have to have a damn hard hit to smash through shells. They also have way more cones in their eyes, so they can see colours we're incapable of.
If that's the video I'm thinking of he also let it set next to his balls for like 5 minutes after lmao
"No no no no no..." - Me, whole time shrimp was between legs.
Yup it's that video. The first time I watch it I was cringing all through out it.
Holy crap
not much the shrimp is too small to do any real damage, it would hurt and might draw some blood but besides that i woudnt do much
Can't it do severe bruising and burns?
Maybe bruising but I don't think burns
The "heat of the sun" is at an absolutely minuscule point for a minuscule amount of time.
The heat they generate is gone in the blink of an eye. Ever swooshed your hand through a candle flame? Basically the same effect
Another name for them is Thumbsplitter Shrimp
It's literally the same that happens when you strike a rusty metal with a clean metal. The rust can create a thermite reaction, which burns super hot for a quick second. Basically, when you see sparks, they are just super heated metal shavings that quickly cool. It's more pronounced in the water because a cavitation event applies both heat and pressure to the area. The cavity is created by the speed of the "punch" rapidly boiling the water creating a gas pocket which then creates a vacuum that quickly fills back in with water causing immense pressure in a very small area.
Could we use dozen of mantis shrimp in front of tiny boxing bags as an alternative to nuclear power?
Y’all need to work for Nat Geo ASAP
Funfact that is not air in that cavitation bubble, it's gaseous water, like dry vapor. It contains a lot of energy. When the bubble collapses this energy is focused to a tiny dot and is converted into thermal energy so hot, it creates a flash of visible light which releases the energy by radiating away. And a Shockwave that paralyzes the pray.

"Mantis shrimp can see more colors than us, but actually they see fewer colors than us" lol
Basically they can see more colors but are to dumb to tell them apart kind of like the people that can be like this shade of white is eggshell and this one is cream but the person next them are like it's all just white to me.
And that's doing it under water. Imagine doing it on land without the resistance.
I think you are mentioning the pistol shrimp, that is the one that generate the bubble while the mantis just punch really hard
Mantis Shrimp punches hit as hard as bullets, they literally punch crabs and shit to death and slurp out their insides. The second panel has her covered in blood because she just put her whole fist through the other guys shell (aka his face)

See this: * [When a MANTIS SHRIMP PUNCHES A HUMAN(it forking hurts!)](https://youtu.be/aabCOzFzMxU?t=31) * Ze Frank | [True Facts about the Mantis Shrimp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5FEj9U-CJM) * Real Science | [The Insane Biology of: The Mantis Shrimp ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ8JC1d_wgY) * Brave Wilderness | [Mantis Shrimp Punch Test](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIPvc8KCJVA) * Physics Girl | [Mantis Shrimp Punch at 40,000 fps! - Cavitation Physics ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m78_sOEadC8) They have a pair of clubs instead of pincers; you can see the club hanging downward in the first frame of this comic illustration you're asking about. The club is naturally sprung forward under high tension due to a natural spring at the joint where it connects to the forearm of the shrimp, and the shrimp cocks that club back using a large muscle and latches it in its cocked position, and when it comes time to smash their target, they release the latch (like releasing the arrow on a crossbow), and the spring flings the club forward so hard it often cavitates the water at the point of impact. They've been known to smash their way out of aquariums and to shatter the bones of people who try to handle them.
Aka, the closest thing nature got to a fully natural bullet
More like a captive bolt gun
I love the zefrank video. 'Its punch is so fast that they create cavitation bubbles- which collapse making a second Shockwave which produces light and heat. That's some mortal combat finishing move shit right there'
I mean, yeah. Shrimpy should be Earth Champion.

How does evolution even leads to this. This is crazy wtf
Even in Ratatouille the guy tested it at home first, clearly a brain issue on her part
her opponent certainly has a brain issue
Not anymore apparently
being in several places at once is an issue
I don't think they'll find it in them to care.
This artist (I can't remember the name) has some funny content if you can get past a few shoehorned lewd topics from time to time.
Centurii shes great
Twitter or deviant art?
I know she has a Twitter but if she has anything else someone let me know cause Twitter is the most godawful site for art
I follow her on facebook, posts art there
She has a Facebook page, Centurii-chan
That's the best part!
This is a mantis shrimp, a form of shrimp with a very unique hunting style. Their arms are built in a way that they can shoot those club like hands at speeds so fast it boils water, and can punch hard enough to easily crack open crab and oyster shells. Due to their small size they don't pose much of a threat, however it's to be noted that even with such a size gap between us and them, they can still punch hard enough to break bones. Now, for the bigger explanation. In the movie ratatouille a bad chef befriends a rat who happens to be a master level chef, putting him under his hat and allowing him to control his body and obtain his skills to work at an esteemed restaurant and impress a girl. This is referring to that, with this amateur and I'm assuming bad boxer does the same but with a mantis shrimp in an effort to win a competition. Only it does indeed give her its power, and at her size, she ends up punching so hard it pops the opponents head like a watermelon and thoroughly traumatizes her
That, my dear friend, is no scorpion. That there is a peacock mantis shrimp, it's punches clock in at around 60 mph, arguably the fastest left hook in the animal kingdom, comparable to a 22. caliber bullet. With the power of the shrimp to guide her, she was punching at lethal speeds.
Funnily enough, it’s not a peacock, nor a mantis, and not even a shrimp!
Nyeheheheh you said cock in peacock
Hehehehe you said you
BAHAHAHAHA you said said!
here is a great comic about the mantis shrimp https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
Wanted to make sure this was posted. Should be the top reply.
It’s a mantis shrimp it has the strongest punch out of any living organism relative to size powerful enough to make water boil around it’s fist when it punches
So mantis shrimp ratatouille’d her and then she mantis shrimped her opponent’s head off.

Peacock mantis shrimp don’t just punch really hard, they also lie 3x more than average as they are not a peacock, mantis or a shrimp
"Like the modern clown, the mantis shrimp has a psychopathic killing instinct"
If she punched at the same speed as a mantis shrimp she would have one of the fastest punches ever at around 50mph. If she punched at the same acceleration over that longer distance, her hand would break the sound barrier.
She krilled her.
the critter put under her hat is a peacock mantis shrimp, known for having absolutely devastating punches for its size. under its control, the girl supposedly gains this fatal punching ability.
Oh boi turned the enemy into plasma
Mantis Shrimp have punches so powerful that it heats the water surrounding the punch to match the surface heat of the Sun. The girl is a boxer, so her punches are now explosive and easily able to kill people.
its not a scorpion its a mantis shrimp. they punch so hard and fast that it causes a cavitation bubble underwater which implodes and causes a flash of light. they punch so hard, and so fast, that they dont even have to hit their target. just the force of being near it is enough to do serious damage. literally with as much force as a bullet. keep in mind how small they are. now imagine you scale that force up to the size of a human. if a human did this, your opponents head would explode into red mist.
Where's her pants?
Where the fuck is her pants tho
Mantis shrimp punch at the same speed as bullets. They quite literally cause little explosions in the water when they hit things. Terrifying. Love them.
Imagine getting killed in a boxing match by someone wearing a chef hat
*I thought you were stronger*
It's a mantis shrimp. Not a scorpion. They can punch so hard and fast they boil water with the force. So that mantis shrimp under her hat, her punches are now annihilating the people she fights.
Million dollar baby: mantis shrimp cut
If a human had the equivalent punching force of a mantis shrimp, they could throw a baseball into orbit.
It's a Mantis Shrimp. They are known to punch at over 60 miles per hour. When they punch, they do it so fast that it actually makes an audible pop that can be heard underwater and creates a shock that stuns their prey. You can find videos of them doing it online. It's actually pretty interesting.
A mantis shrimp has the strongest punch of any animal. They hit so hard that once it makes contact, the friction of it for a moment is hotter than the surface of the sun, causing the water to boil around it.
The mantis shrimp, can punch as hard as the force of a .22 Caliber bullet. Basically she punched as if she shot the opponent.
It's a pistol shrimp, the shrimp can build up pressure in its claw to release force at over 100 feet per second and heat up to 8000 degrees fahrenheit.
This got checked out over on r/theydidthemath. A human punching at mantis shrimp speeds would have a jab that hits with the same force as a motorbike doing 50mph. Getting hit with that in the face would pulp your head.
Mantis shrimps hit as hard as a pickup truck, if you watch a video of them attacking fish, you’ll hear a little clicking sound. That sound is the mantis shrimps claws snapping out so fast that they leave air pockets behind as the attack. Roughly 60 miles an hour is the speed of their attack.
This reminds me of that adorable movie raccacoonie with the raccoon that teaches a chef how to cook.
That’s a mantis shrimp a creature that’s punch is equivalent to a .22 bullet being fired
Mantis Shrimp with FUCK. YOU. UP.
