  • Mantis shrimp punches travel 12 to 23 meters per second (approximately 27 to 51 miles per hour) in water the acceleration involved can reach up to 10,000 Gs.
    The peak force generated by a mantis shrimp’s punch can be as high as 1500 Newtons, which is over 2500 times the animal’s own body weight.
    The acceleration of their punch is such thay it creates a cavitation bubble which, when it collapses, can generate 8,500 degrees Fahrenheit – nearly as hot as the sun’s surface at 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

    We named ours Smeagol.
