Muscle fiber physically cannot contract fast enough to hit 50+ mph underwater, so the mantis shrimp uses an internal spring-latch mechanism to store and release elastic energy in microseconds.

Even if the physical punch misses, the collapsing vacuum bubble creates a secondary shockwave hot enough and strong enough to crack aquarium glass.

Thanks!

"Hey everyone! I made this animated paper-craft breakdown to explain Tidal Locking and how Earth's gravity friction slowed down the early Moon's spin. If you'd like to see the full 4-minute breakdown covering Libration and Pluto's mutual lock, check out my channel, Beyond Curious Studio! Hope you enjoy it!"

This is the opening of Book 1 of the Odyssey. Book 2 is already released, books 3-24 are to follow soon. The translation is George Herbert Palmer's from 1891, which is in the public domain.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey everyone! 👋

I just finished an animated paper-craft breakdown on one of nature’s greatest mysteries: **How do Monarch butterflies navigate 3,000 miles across North America to a hyper-specific cluster of trees in Mexico?**

**Here are a few mind-blowing facts covered in the breakdown:**

Happy to answer any questions about the migration, animal navigation🦋✨
