Pretty scared, this animal will hide as soon as you approach him. He can however attack if he feels in danger... and he has something to do!
In addition to having the best view of the animal kingdom, the mantis shrimp has one of the fastest shots points on the planet! The impact force of its front legs deploys an impact force of 1,500 newtons, which is about the same as if we could blow a wall with a stab. The paw of the mantis shrimp is not visible by the man because of its speed.
Finally, the more the squire is visible, the more its colors are bright.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
