How does the mantis shrimp reproduce?
Because mantis shrimp are secretive, nocturnal animals, little is known about their life cycle or mating habits. Other facts about the mantis shrimp: • The mantis shrimp is not an actual shrimp, but rather a shrimp-like crustacean. • The strike velocity of the mantis shrimp’s large, powerful spearing claws is said to be nearly 10 meters per second. This allows the mantis shrimp to spear and cut swiftly moving fish (or people!). • Mantis shrimp eyes contain even more photo receptors than human eyes.
