You stupid prawn!

Shoot at the prawn!

One prawn, one bullet.

Give me a prawn.

Praying mantis kung fu!

Stupid prawn. They'll believe anything.

This prawn wouldn't listen to me, one really unruly prawn... and I just had to...

So this is a mantis shrimp.

Like... I've never had a prawn vindaloo.

I'll come back for prawn, alright guys?

Praying Mantis very good. For catching bugs.

And mantis shrimp are called mantis shrimp after the praying mantises, which also have a fast feeding appendage.

How the fuck do you open this, prawn?

Did you see how fast that prawn was, Trent?

You see that prawn back in the Casper? Yeah.

And this is a spearing mantis shrimp, or stomatopod.

He's going to turn into one of them. A prawn!

No money you get nothing. Fucking prawn, this isn't charity.

This was how mantis shrimps make these very fast strikes.

Skywalker, Balmorra's the nesting ground of the giant nebray mantis.

The Prawn doesn't really understand the concept of ownership of property.

I'm going to show you the mantis shrimp approaching the snail.

Like when my son transformed into a praying mantis for Halloween.

So, mantis shrimp come in two varieties there are spearers and smashers.

The prawn likes to eat the rubber. To him it's like a marshmallow.

Leave that fucking prawn, man, I will shoot at pig. I'll shoot, sir!

But I'm not shooting at prawn, you hear me? Untie the fucking gun.

Are you saying that you can... turn this prawn hand into a human hand?

And mantis shrimp are officially the fastest measured feeding strike of any animal system.

That praying mantis is made from a single sheet of paper no scotch tape, no cuts.

This is a recording I made of a mantis shrimp that's found off the coast of California.

We built a nice new facility where the prawn can go, he can be comfortable, he can stay there...

Very little of it left, of course, because all these pipes supply the nutrition to the little prawn eggs.

So, actually, I started working on what's called the mantis shrimp a few years ago because they make sound.

And what he showed in mantis shrimp is that they use what's called a catch mechanism, or click mechanism.

Now, the other type of mantis shrimp is the smasher stomatopod, and these guys open up snails for a living.

The derogatory term Prawn is used for the alien, and obviously it implies something that is a bottom feeder, that scavenges the leftovers.

The people of Johannesburg and of South Africa are going to live happily and safely, knowing that that prawn is very far away.

So the next and final question was, well, how much force does a mantis shrimp produce if they're able to break open snails?

And while I was struggling to figure out how and why mantis shrimp, or stomatopods, make sound, I started to think about their appendages.

And what we do here at this department is... we try to engage with the Prawn on behalf of MNU and on behalf of humans.

And then we did a series of calculations, and what we were able to show is that these mantis shrimp have to have a spring.

When our First Nations Inuit and Mantis communities are being ravaged by a suicide rate 5 6 times higher than the national average, that's not acceptable.

And if folding a single praying mantis from a single uncut square wasn't interesting enough, then you could do two praying mantises from a single uncut square.

And if any of you ever have a chance, backstage of the National Museum of Natural History is one of the world's best collections of preserved mantis shrimp.
