She is an amazing teacher, her research is fascinating.
That was the best scientific presentation I've seen to date, a credit to all involved.
+Bikerchris yeah it was all the important things, critically watched evidence profen, im seriously impressed too
It’s so interesting this Ted talk was posted when UA-cam was just a couple years old. I got here from a tiktok of a guy with one of these as a pet. Super interesting rabbit hole!
Earth unplugged brought me to this old but awesome video
+Kevin Loo Thanks for leading me to Earth Unplugged. Looks awesamosa
no problemo
this is how we explore good contents
Fascinating and very informative. To anyone who found that punch incredible you should check out their eyes. Works of art.
i have always been fascinated with this animal. excellent work and study. brilliant
I have gotten interested in these stomatopods ever since i heard about them last yr. Very informative video. Thanks for posting and sharing this information.
Thank God we don't have these kind of crazy superman punching animals around us. That would be extremely painful to encounter xD.
Imagine that kind of shrimp sneaking around the pavement and mistaking your shoe for a snail or whatever it want's to eat.
They would punch the flesh off your bones and break your toes and fingers.
tell me you're not from California without telling me you're from California
There is some Japanese UA-camr he goes fishing this shrimp and it smash a hole in his shoes. His leg bleeding a lot. Thats why i am here searching how strong it is.
LOL when I go to college I wish my biology class could be this fascinating.
News flash biology class sucks I didn't get my wish :D
Did you get classes like this as you progressed further in College?
Awesome job!
Such a great report on these amazing arthropods. I plan on getting one myself someday. They are truly a feat of science and biology to be able to do what they can.
I have to sit down and watch all this later, cool.
It's long but very well explained and great info Oswald Reef
Fascinating
Awesome presentation of a fascinating creature, but what is that sound that she played initially?? Was it a slo mo of the punch?
Awesome video! i love mantis shrimps
That was great. I had been looking at mantis Shrimp online because of there incredible eye sight. I guess they can see in 12 primary colors where humans see in 4. They also can see in infrared and ultraviolet light spectrum according to some studies.
that was AMAZING!!
I use to have a smasher type mantis shrimp as a pet.. looked just like the green on.. amazing pets.. it's almost like they can recognize you as the owner...
That was really interesting
I love this video.
I recently read a book called Fragment, by Warren Fahy...it's basically Jurassic Park, but instead of dinosaurs, there is an island populated by giant terrestrial mantis shrimp. It's a pretty good thriller, just thought I would throw this out there!
Damn nature! you never cease to amaze me :)
amazing
This video was super interesting and entertaining to watch, just scary to think I was 6 when it was uploaded! 🤣
Lol same
Respect to this lady...
Are you her?
Wow...you have a very committed, intelligent and hard working mother...send her my salute...[Ahmad from Egypt]
I CANT BELIEVE NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT PRINGLES
"double whammy" indeed!
lots still keep them as pets. Mantis tanks are still very popular
That sound clip she played sounded like the bloop! Clearly the bloop isn't Cthulhu, it's a giant mantis shrimp deep in the ocean.
a pistol shrimp can also make that destructive bubble. sort of a sonic boom...
I loved ❤
so....they use springs and small explosives amazing XD
This... was... MIND BLOWING.
Does she know she is probably the reason Mantis Shrimp is now the official animal symbol of Canada? And also the reason why the Oatmeal picked it up and drew a comic about it (presumably)? And also the reason why I'll NEVER go deepsea diving?
Amazing.
Couldn't the second lesser pressure strike just be from the bounce of the hit? Kind of like when you flip a switch, there is a momentary bounce caused from the contact.
If you look closely, the second pressure peak extends beyond the baseline of the previous, denoting that it's actually stronger (afaik.) In any case, no, it's too close in time. That second pressure peak was less than 1 millisecond after the heel of the striking limb hits, and it would take a few milliseconds before the limb would make the secondary glance and bounce off of the target (as she notes, 'you'd expect to see another reading, but not so soon after the first.')
no ist a small hydrogen explotion
SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS look up 'Cavitation' and get back to us on that, until then, don't spout anymore nonsense.
SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS I'm glad a translate button was under that comment.
240p?
they make such a low frequency, audio engineers take note! low frequency small size...
@30Ciaran - but the trapjaw ant is moving through a much less dense medium - air. James Bond underwater fight scenes notwithstanding, it takes a heck of a lot more to deliver an effective blow underwater. Let's stick a trapjaw ant underwater and see if its speed and force are comparable - I suspect the shrimp is still the heavyweight champion.
To crack the shell.
exelent talk!
Me and that guy that at 11;40 murmured wow at the same time
@Jaeger7793
She runs her lab and teaches at Umass Amherst now. Shes an awesome professor
So its like hitting two rocks under water
who would even dislike this... the snails
This video is amazing.
Ms. Patek, I'm not sure if you check the posts on this, but if you do, THANK YOU.
I'm an avid home reef keeper. I recently set up a Stomotopod tank with a juvenile Clown/Peacock Mantis. (His name is "EJ")
Any information on prefered water chemistry & diet from a professional would be greatly appreciated. For now I've been feeding snails, crabs & liquid vitamin saturated scallop meat. Thanks in advance. Rob W.
They hurt at the size they are... if they were bigger I think we would just splat like a grape lol.
So the stores potential energy of the contracted muscle and spring acts basically like a biological mousetrap - I wonder if doing tests with real springs under water yield similar results
thats scary because i just watched a vid where the mantis punched a crabs arm off.....
.....imagine...if it hunted us.....scary very
2023 ayyyyy
If the forces were to scale, a shot from that would make a hole into a brick wall as if it was butter. I seriously don't want to meet a human-sized mantis shrimp!
My comedic mind loled when she said wacky
That's genius. And yes, I'm replying to a comment made 5 years ago.
I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm incredibly attracted to this woman.
240p ? Come on
i like it
Nice picture
I believe they have 8. Heard that somewhere recently.
Fuck, you display pic man! I almost swatted at the screen.
Anyone notice the second cavitation flash coming from the side of the snail at 4:20? If that's coming from the inside of the shell, as it appears, the snail must be basicly jelly at that point.
smart lady
If these things somehow grew bigger, we would be fucked! They are smart.
Great video, but after TED removed videos because of copyright (that used fair policy).... TED sucks....
Holy moly that's a creepy sound!!
There is no such thing as useless information. there could be all kinds of practical applications from this work. Tons of engineering applications would be the most obvious.
Que som mais estranho!
Gostei!
mantis shrimp are not actually shrimp... they are a prehistoric beast! most advanced predator on earth
She can study my arthropud
Well, they seem to live in shallow water mainly, so.. ;)
Looks like you got your wish.
And here we are today 16 years later with over 70% of the worlds species either threatened or made extinct as a result of selfish human behaviour. We've destroyed invaluable research that had potential to create some of the most advanced technologies and inventions we could never think of.
Shane Carwin hits harder :)

High waters......shoes need a party and invite the pants down.
Imba.
I got a good question, why the hell would they need to move that fast just to hit a snail? Snails aren't exactly famous for their speed....
Crack the shell.
Because it looks cool 😂
12:47 I just can't hear that and not laugh
It's all very interesting. All the laughing is kind of distracting, though. I wonder if the audience was college kids or something.
god you people are so toxic. it's a talk, god forbid people have emotions and actually enjoy things.
Cheata could so beat it in a race!!
uhm... try
/education
Wow, it always amazes me how much money is spent on people that investigate obvious phenomenon in our environment.. There is no special knowledge or skill set used to acquire such data. WHich leads me to believe they smoke more pot than actually working...
Ok, I am obviously a lowlife, but WHY would one choose to spend a lifetime researching something like this!?
And for an additional point who would want to pay such a research and why.
Go plant something, be useful.
People used to keep these guys as pets in their home aquariums but after a few thousand dollars in broken glass, dead fish, and carpet cleaning bills, the fad wore off.
also, she's got a pretty nice body for a biologist.
She said her project was "incredibly difficult" without giving context or proof. Maybe she should just stay with making videos of crustaceans because I saw nothing that convinced me her project was anything better Than a Nature video
amazing
