Mantis Shrimp Mechanics Video
From ants to architecture, and some amazing super slow motion video of the mantis shrimp's attack, it's all in this fascinating video of a scientific lecture on the physics of the stomatopod's hammer blow, by Sheila Patek of the University of California at Berkeley.
I referred to the amazing power of the front legs of the mantis shrimp a couple of days ago. Today, I’m bringing you something of an explanation of how it all works. It’s a video of Sheila Patek from UC Berkeley, giving a lecture on the mechanics of the stomatopod’s striking arms.
