crazier still: the mantis shrimp!

Called "sea locusts" by ancient Assyrians, "prawn killers" in Australia and now sometimes referred to as "thumb splitters" ? because of the animal's ability to inflict painful gashes if handled incautiously[4] ? mantis shrimp sport powerful claws that they use to attack and kill prey by spearing, stunning or dismemberment. Although it happens rarely, some larger species of mantis shrimp are capable of breaking through aquarium glass with a single strike from this weapon.[5]
(from wiki)

i've seen one of them while diving like 8 years ago. My diving instructor told me not to touch it because he once covered a mantis shrimp with a tea glass and that shrimp karate-punched the glass to smithereens...
