The mantis shrimp can move its claws (smashers) so fast that it produces 1500 newtons of force (337 lbs). This force is so great that it causes the water around it to boil (cavitation) and can even generate a small amount of light (sonoluminescence). When the cavitation bubbles break it creates a shock wave that can stun or kill their prey.
