  1. mantis crab

    Mantis crabs, also known as mantis shrimps, are marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda. They are famous for their extraordinary eyesight, their vibrant colors and their ability to swiftly and powerfully strike prey with their raptorial appendages. Mantis crabs are neither true crabs nor mantises, but they have been named so due to their appearance, possessing either "smashing" or "spearing" claws that resemble those of a praying mantis. They can be categorized into over 450 species and are found in many tropical and subtropical regions of the oceans.
