Also take a look at Crustacean Wars I where this Mantis casually batters a snail.

Ah, the beauty of God's creatures. How everything is 'naturally' about peace and harmony in a flower covered world, where all creatures are meant to live in peace with one another.

BANG BANG BANG BANG * NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
*BURP*

Reminds me of this TED Talk, which I guess fell through the sift.

On another note, that was pretty brutal.

Actually, I'm not so sure. You see that other video where the Mantis Shrimp goes for the fiddler crab and the first thing he does is BANG: big claw amputated?

I'm thinking if this thing has strategies for humans, it's going for the nutsack first.

That shrimp indeed has some finely honed ninja dismemberment skills.

Also, it's horrible and ugly and should be purged with fire.
