Mantis shrimp produce one of the fastest strikes in the animal kingdom, their striking appendages reaching tip velocities of tens of meters per second underwater. Their ultrafast movement is capable of crushing the shells of prey and generating cavitation bubbles, and has long raised interest from the scientific community. To study the underlying mechanisms and operating principles behind these be...
