This animal can vapourize water with one punch; Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus)

Despite its small size, the peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus) can throw the strongest and fastest punch of any animal. Its claws are able to move at 80km/h, that’s fast enough to produce light and vapourize the surrounding water! Not so bad for a small crustacean.
