The tiny but ferocious mantis shrimp can be quite colorful with a flattened, translucent body. Its abdomen and carapace are segmented, with each segment outlined in color. The mantis shrimp has green eyes on stalks on the top of its head and amazing vision. It has one pair of long, jackknife claws that resemble those of a praying mantis; hence, its name. The arms are powerful with a spring-loaded mechanism no prey can escape, and it has three pairs of walking legs. The mantis shrimp can grow up to 8 - 10 inches long.
