Lots of activity in the ghost mantis exhibit recently, and here you can see this species’ leaf-like body in motion! Native to East Africa and Madagascar, the ghost mantis is one of the smallest of the mantis species, and they blend in perfectly in their environment. They camouflage not only hides them, but allows them, as an ambush predator, to hunt, striking prey like flies and other small insects. #sfzoo #mantis | San Francisco Zoo

Meet the peacock mantis shrimp! The crustacean spends much of its time looking for crabs and mollusks to eat. When it finds a delicious snack, the animal goes into full-on boxer mode. Springing out one of its club-like front claws, the animal delivers a swift punch to its prey. The punch is 50 times faster than the blink of an eye and strong enough to break glass!
